SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE
This recipe came to The Times in 2003 from the chef Scott Conant, who was then cooking at his restaurant L'Impero in Manhattan. It is simple, classic Italian fare that makes the most of summer's tomatoes, but you can also make it with hothouse offerings and it will be delicious.

Steps:
- Blanch the tomatoes and remove the skins. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Cut the tomatoes crosswise. Set aside in a bowl.
- Heat 3 ounces olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it smokes slightly. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Since the tomatoes will reduce and the salt will be concentrated, it is better to season initially with a lighter hand.
- Chop the tomatoes with a potato masher until they are in fine chunks and all their liquid is released. Be sure they are chopped and crushed fine, for a semichunky sauce. Simmer for 25 minutes over medium heat.
- While the sauce simmers, heat the water for the pasta. Cook the spaghetti in salted water about half of the way cooked. Drain, reserving some of the water.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add the pasta to the sauce and cook over medium-high heat until all the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is al dente. If the sauce is over-reduced, use the pasta cooking liquid to adjust it.
- At the last moment, remove the pan from the heat; add the extra-virgin olive oil, butter, basil and cheese. Mix thoroughly until the pasta is an orangy color. Taste again and adjust the salt if necessary. Remove to a platter. Serve.

TOMATO BASIL SPAGHETTI
This is a great dish when you have little time to cook but something fulfilling and with great taste. The original recipe calls for 1 lb of spaghetti, but since I like more sauce I decreased the amount to 3/4 lb. It's up to you how much pasta you'd like to use. The sauce comes together quickly and the results are always excellent. Begin the sauce as soon as you turn the pasta water on to boil. It's that fast! Recipe courtesy of Eva Longoria.

Tips:
- Select ripe and aromatic basil: Fresh basil leaves impart a vibrant flavor to the dish. Choose basil with deep green leaves and a strong, fragrant aroma.
- Use high-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil adds richness and depth to the sauce. Opt for a flavorful and fruity olive oil to enhance the overall taste.
- Cook the spaghetti al dente: Al dente pasta retains a slight bite and holds the sauce better. Follow the recommended cooking time on the pasta package and taste it to ensure it's not overcooked.
- Reserve some pasta cooking water: The starchy pasta water helps emulsify the sauce and create a creamy consistency. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking water before draining the pasta.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese fresh: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese provides a more intense flavor and melts smoothly into the sauce. Avoid pre-shredded cheese, which often contains additives and preservatives.
- Add the basil at the end: Adding basil towards the end of cooking preserves its delicate flavor and vibrant green color. Stir it in just before serving to maintain its freshness.
