Time 50m

Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup minced sweet onion, such as Vidalia
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 2 to 3 cloves)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cans (each 28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes in juice, puréed

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a pot over medium-high. When it shimmers, add onion; season with 1 tablespoon salt.

Stir in garlic and red-pepper flakes; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted and sauce is uniform in color. If not using it immediately, let the sauce cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to five days, or freeze for up to three months.

Mario Batali's Spaghetti with Green Tomatoes Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by sesimneal

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup Italian parsley leaves
1/4 cup arugula, washed and spun dry
5 green tomatoes, chopped
2 clove garlic, chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus 2 tablespoons
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus extra for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot, and add 2 tablespoons salt. Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the mint, basil, parsley, arugula, 1 clove of garlic, Parmigiano and olive oil and pulse to form a chunky purée. Season aggressively with salt and pepper, and set aside. In a sauté pan add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add chopped tomatoes and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes. Add full ladle of pesto into pan. Cook the pasta in the boiling water until just al dente. Drain the pasta and add to pan with tomatoes and pesto. Add some of the pasta water and toss to coat. Top with sprinkle with the Parmigiano, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest, ripest tomatoes you can find. This will give your sauce the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the tomatoes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Add a pinch of sugar to the sauce to help balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
  • Taste the sauce as it cooks and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the sauce immediately over your favorite pasta, or store it in the refrigerator for later use.
