Steps:

• Heat oil in a pot.
• Saute onion and garlic in the oil till the onion is transparent and the raw smell of garlic is gone.
• Add tomatoes, parsley and spices. Cook on low heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a teaspoon of salt.
• Cook pasta in water that should contain a good dash of salt (3 pinches). Cook, stirring often, until cooked al dente i.e. until the pasta has got just a slight bite to it.
• Chef's tip: The pasta is ready when it's no longer hard in the middle.
• Caution: If you don't use enough water, the starch from the pasta leaches out into the water and starts turning to glue - this results in the pasta getting stuck together.
• Drain the pasta, shower with cold water, and place it back in the pot.
• Add the onion-tomato-garlic-spice mixture to the drained pasta.
• Now mix in the Tomato ketchup (Heinz brand is the best) to taste. Toss pasta in the ketchup to coat it well.
