Here's what you need: spaghetti, olive oil, garlic, cherry tomato, salt, pepper, white wine, parmesan cheese, fresh basil

Provided by Jody Duits

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups cherry tomato
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 cup white wine
1 cup parmesan cheese
½ cup fresh basil, chopped

Steps:

  • Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water until it's al dente. Reserve 1 cup (235 ml) of the pasta water before draining.
  • While the spaghetti is cooking, heat olive oil in a large pan (it should be large enough to toss the pasta in). Add garlic and tomatoes, and stir until well-incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook tomatoes down for 5 minutes until they soften and release some of their juices.
  • Then add the wine and allow that to reduce for 5-10 minutes until you're left with a syrupy sauce.
  • Add the pasta to your sauce, along with a splash of pasta water and toss to coat it for about 1-2 minutes so the pasta finishes cooking and absorbs the flavor of the sauce.
  • Add the parmesan and basil. Add another small splash of pasta water, if needed. Toss until the cheese is melted down and you're left with a smooth sauce.
  • Gradually add small amounts of pasta water, as needed, until the sauce reaches your desired smoothness.
  • Top off with extra parmesan and basil and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

PERFECT SPAGHETTI WITH TOMATO SAUCE



Perfect Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce image

This recipe's quickness depends on getting all the sauce ingredients and cooking equipment ready before you start cooking. Then, when the water's boiling, start the pasta, and saute the sauce at the same time.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 pounds baby pear tomatoes (or cherry or vine-ripened tomatoes), or one 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes
8 ounces thin, best-quality spaghetti
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, cut into 1/8-inch-thick pieces
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh basil or parsley leaves, loosely packed and torn
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, optional

Steps:

  • In a tall stockpot, bring 3 quarts of water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil.
  • If using pear tomatoes, wash and stem. If using vine-ripened tomatoes, score bottoms with a small X; blanch 5 seconds in boiling water. Plunge tomatoes into an ice-water bath, then remove the skins. Using a chef's knife, cut flesh from cores, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips; place in a sieve set over a bowl. Press the cores of tomatoes through sieve; discard seeds. If using canned tomatoes, strain, and pass through a food mill.
  • Drop spaghetti into boiling water; stir. Cook until al dente, about 11 minutes, according to package instructions.
  • Place a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat; add oil. Add garlic to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is lightly golden, about 30 seconds. Add red-pepper flakes and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until garlic is medium golden, about 1 minute.
  • Increase heat to high. Tilting pan at an angle, add tomatoes. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until tomatoes begin to break down, pear tomatoes begin to burst, or canned tomatoes begin to thicken, 5 to 6 minutes. If using pear tomatoes, mash a few with a spoon. If pear tomatoes start to get too dry, add a little water from the stockpot.
  • Drain pasta in a colander, reserving 1 cup liquid in case sauce gets too dry. Add pasta to sauce in saute pan; cook until sauce begins to cling to pasta, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in basil; cook 30 seconds more. Divide among bowls, and sprinkle with cheese, if desired.

SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE



Spaghetti With Fresh Tomato and Basil Sauce image

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.

Provided by The New York Times

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds fresh plum tomatoes, blanched, peeled, seeded and quartered
3 ounces olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 pinch crushed red-pepper flakes
1 pound dry spaghetti
2 ounces extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
6 leaves fresh basil, shredded
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

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.

SIMPLE SPAGHETTI WITH TOMATO SAUCE



Simple Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce image

This basic pasta dish can be transformed by adding extras like cooked bacon, shrimp or even a few handfuls of baby spinach to the sauce. We like canned San Marzano plum tomatoes because they are slightly sweeter and less acidic than other varieties.

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
Kosher salt

12 ounces spaghetti
Grated Parmesan, optional
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Steps:

  • Cook the oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper flakes in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring, until the oil heats up and the garlic just starts to turn golden, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes; rinse the can with about 1 cup of water, and add the water to the skillet. Add the basil, raise the heat to medium-high and simmer until the sauce thickens, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the spaghetti to the boiling water, and cook according to package directions; strain well.
  • Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce, and stir to coat. Serve with Parmesan if desired.

Tips:

  • Chop the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others are still raw.
  • Use a large pot: This will give the ingredients plenty of room to cook without overcrowding, which can make the sauce watery.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the pasta: This will help the pasta cook evenly and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook it according to the package directions, or until it is al dente (still slightly firm to the bite).
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Serve immediately: Spaghetti with tomato sauce is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the sauce is flavorful.
