Ingredients

• 250 grams egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 small onion
• 250 grams cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 120 milliliters water
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 50 grams grated parmesan cheese
• 100 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles cook, prepare the sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Finely chop the garlic cloves and small onion. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and water until well combined, forming a smooth sauce. Add the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the tomato sauce.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese over the noodles. Cover with a lid and let the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Uncover, toss the noodles gently again, and check the seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve the Tomato and Cheese Egg Noodles hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
