Pasta (or greek "hilopites") with tomato sauce


What to have (3-4 servings)

pasta (I used hilopites -- handmade from my grandmother :))
grated cheese (I used mytzithra -- handmade from my other grandmother :))
Sauce:
tomato sauce (1/2 can)
some water (1/4 cup)
1/2 onion
olive oil
salt, pepper, peppercorrns
oregano, daphne


How to do it:

1. Chop the onions and saute them in some olive oil.
2. In the meanwhile, boil water for the past.
3. Pour the tomato sauce and add all the other ingredients. Mix well.
4. Let the sauce in medium to slow strength until the sauce thickens.
5. In the meanwhile, prepare the pasta. (Follow the instructions on the package or taste every 4-5 minutes to see when they are done.)
6. Serve with grated cheese. Enjoy!

Extra tips:
! Lid in the saucepan is not necessarily needed. But it will keep your kitchen clean :). 
If you see that it becomes too thick, then use the lid.
