Heat the pan, add olive oil, finely chopped garlic and saute it. then add onion and saute till it turns translucent. now add finely chopped tomatoes and saute till it is mixed with onions. this takes at least 3 to minutes. if i have to say in Indian way, saute till it resembles tomato thokku.

Add salt, kashmiri chilli powder, chili flakes, basil, oregano and ketchup to the pan one by one and give a good mix, till it all comes together like a sauce. add little water if it sticks to the pan. allow the sauce to sit in pan in medium flame for about 10 minutes. finally add red wine and remove from the flame.

Now mix the red sauce with pasta, add olives,basil leaves & mix. This red pasta goes well with Red wine.

If you love pepper taste, reduce the chilli powder and add freshly crushed black pepper. i served with chilli flakes as we prefer our pasta little spicy.

If you are serving for kids or to a cheese lover, grate some mozzarella cheese over the pasta, grill for 2 minutes and serve warm.
