Categories     Penne

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons kosher salt
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon hot red pepper flakes
1 1/2 cups tomatoes, chopped (like Pomi)
1 lb penne pasta
coarse sea salt, to taste (preferred brand ( Maldon)
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
parmigiano-reggiano cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot, and add 3 tablespoons kosher salt.
  • Meanwhile, put 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and pepper flakes. Reduce the heat to low and stir just until fragrant, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, and remove from the heat.
  • Drop the pasta into the boiling water, and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
  • Add the pasta and the reserved pasta water to the tomato sauce, stir and toss over medium heat until the pasta is well coated.
  • Season with salt if necessary, then add 4 tablespoons olive oil, tossing well.
  • Serve immediately, with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on the side.

I wasn't a fan of the sauce. It was too oily and didn't have much flavor.

The sauce was a little too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed the dish. I'll try it again with less red pepper flakes next time.
