• Add tomato, water, herbs, salt and pepper and tomato paste if using. Stir, bring to simmer, lower heat to medium and simmer energetically for 5 minutes (stir every now and then) until it thickens.
• Adjust salt to taste. Also add a touch of sugar if it tastes a bit sour (depends on quality of tomato).
• Turn the stove off, add pasta, stir in.
