Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Lunch

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 small green bell pepper
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fennel seed, if desired
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (for cooking spaghetti), if desired
8 oz uncooked spaghetti

Steps:

  • Peel and chop the onion to measure 1/2 cup. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Cut the bell pepper in half lengthwise, and cut out seeds and membrane. Chop enough bell pepper to measure 1/4 cup. Wrap any remaining bell pepper with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and bell pepper. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the tomatoes with their liquid, tomato sauce, basil, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, the fennel seed and pepper. Heat to boiling over high heat. Once mixture is boiling, reduce heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently and does not spatter.
  • Cover with lid; cook 35 minutes, stirring about every 10 minutes to make sure mixture is just bubbling gently and to prevent sticking. Lower the heat if the sauce is bubbling too fast.
  • After the sauce has been cooking about 20 minutes, fill a 4-quart Dutch oven about half full of water. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt if desired. Cover with lid; heat over high heat until the water is boiling rapidly. Add the spaghetti. Heat to boiling again. Boil uncovered 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender but not mushy.
  • Place a strainer or colander in the sink. Pour the spaghetti in the strainer to drain. Serve with the tomato sauce.

CREAMY MARINARA SAUCE PASTA



Creamy Marinara Sauce Pasta image

This creamy marinara sauce pasta recipe uses whole milk Greek yogurt to make it extra rich and flavorful. Serve the marinara sauce now or freeze for later!

Provided by a Couple Cooks

Categories     Main Dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion
2 garlic cloves
28-ounce can tomato puree (we used San Marzano variety)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, at room temperature*
Crushed red pepper
1 pound bucatini pasta
Torn fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic. In a large saucepan, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Toss in the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the tomato puree and season generously with salt and pepper. Bring to a bubble, then reduce the heat and maintain a low simmer so that the flavors can fully develop, 30 to 40 minutes, giving a stir when you think of it. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the yogurt. Whisk in 1/2 cup of the warm sauce to temper the yogurt. Scrape the yogurt mixture back into the saucepan whisking to incorporate fully. Taste, adding more salt and pepper, and the crushed red pepper.
  • Boil the pasta in plenty of salted water according to the package instructions. At the end of cooking, set aside 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, slowly transfer the hot pasta to the tomato sauce, tossing to coat. Drizzle in a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water, or more if desired, to loosen. Serve hot, garnished with the basil.
