SPAGHETTI WITH POMODORO SAUCE



Spaghetti with Pomodoro Sauce image

Provided by James Briscione

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Fresh Pasta, recipe follows
12 Roma tomatoes
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for the tomatoes and serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 whole dried red chiles or 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus extra for serving
7 ounces "00" or all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 cups) (see Cook's Note)
3 ounces semolina flour (about 1/2 cup) (see Cook's Note)
3 large eggs (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Cut a thin slice from the stem end of the tomatoes and score the other end by cutting a small "x." Place the tomatoes in a small bowl, toss with enough olive to coat and season lightly with salt and pepper. Stand the tomatoes up on their cut sides in a baking dish and place in the oven to cook until the skins are lightly blistered, about 6 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, set up a pasta roller attachment on a stand mixer (or secure a hand roller to the side of your work surface) and set it on the widest setting. Lightly dust a baking sheet and work surface with semolina and roll out your dough with a rolling pin until it is thin enough to pass through the pasta roller. Turn on the pasta roller and pass the dough through once, then fold in half, dust with semolina flour, and put through the roller again. Keep dusting lightly with semolina flour as needed if the dough seems sticky or damp. Go the next setting and pass the pasta through the roller (without folding). Go to the third setting and repeat. Go to the fourth setting and repeat (you will have rolled the dough to a medium thickness; it should not be translucent).
  • Once the pasta is rolled, cut the long sheet into 10- to 12-inch sections, stacking them on top of each other with a dusting of semolina in between. (You should end up with 4 or 5 sections.) To cut by hand, fold each sheet in half, then in half again. With either of the folded ends facing you, cut very thin slices to achieve a thin noodle. To cut with the pasta machine, use the spaghetti roller attachment and put each section of rolled dough through the machine one at a time. Put the cut spaghetti on the prepared baking sheet; toss to coat with semolina and roll into 4 to 5 nests. Each nest is about one serving.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a rapid boil.
  • Remove the skins from the tomatoes with your hands or a paring knife (if they have been properly roasted the skin should lift easily). Squeeze out the juice and seeds, then break up what is left of the tomato flesh with your hands and transfer to a bowl.
  • Put the oil, garlic and chiles in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic cloves are lightly browned, about 1 minute; add the tomatoes and any juice that has accumulated in the bowl. Season with salt and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and hold for the pasta.
  • Drop the pasta into the boiling water and stir immediately. Leave the pasta to cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked pasta to the pan with the sauce; toss and simmer until well combined. Add the basil and Parmesan and toss well. Serve, drizzle with olive oil and more Parmesan.
  • Mound the flour in the center of a clean countertop or cutting board. Make a well in the center of the flour 3 to 4 inches wide.
  • Crack the eggs into the well and add a pinch of salt. Using a fork, break the yolks and begin to beat the eggs as you would if making scrambled eggs.
  • Continue stirring the eggs with a fork in large circles, slowly incorporating the flour. When the eggs form a thick mass and become difficult to stir, about 3 minutes, fold the loose flour from the edges into the pile with a bench scraper and knead until a smooth dough forms. Discard any excess flour.
  • Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and set aside to rest for 20 minutes before rolling. If waiting more than 1 hour, refrigerate or freeze the dough. The dough will keep refrigerated for up to 24 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Spaghetti Squash: Select a spaghetti squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep yellow color. Avoid any squash with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Safely Cut the Squash: Use a sharp knife to carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp with a spoon.
  • Roast to Perfection: Drizzle the squash halves with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and can be easily scraped into spaghetti-like strands.
  • Enhance the Flavor: Before roasting, you can brush the squash halves with melted butter or olive oil infused with herbs like rosemary or thyme. This adds extra flavor and aroma to the final dish.
  • Make a Flavorful Sauce: The pomodoro sauce is a classic and versatile choice for spaghetti squash. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. You can also add other vegetables like onions, garlic, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the sauce for added texture and nutrition.
  • Don't Overcook the Sauce: Simmer the pomodoro sauce for just 15-20 minutes to preserve the fresh tomato flavor and prevent the sauce from becoming too thick or acidic.
  • Garnish for Appeal: Before serving, top the spaghetti squash with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, chopped basil or parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil. This adds color, texture, and extra flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti squash with pomodoro sauce is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that is perfect for a variety of occasions. With its unique texture, mild flavor, and ability to absorb sauces and flavors, spaghetti squash is a great alternative to traditional pasta. The pomodoro sauce, made with fresh tomatoes and herbs, adds a classic Italian touch to the dish. Whether you are looking for a vegetarian main course, a healthy side dish, or a low-carb option, spaghetti squash with pomodoro sauce is a recipe that is sure to please everyone at the table.
