BASIL CREAM SAUCE



Basil Cream Sauce image

After a mad search on the net for a recipe for this sauce I had to create my own. This can be reheated in the microwave without the usual cream sauce defects. I just love the light green color and how well it displays over tri color or regular pasta, salmon and grilled chicken. I have been putting this on everything.

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.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh basil. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil.
  • Use a high-quality extra-virgin olive oil. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • Don't overcook the spaghetti. It should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
  • Garnish the pasta with additional Parmesan cheese and basil leaves before serving.

Conclusion:

This spaghetti with basil cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy sauce is made with fresh basil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, and it coats the spaghetti perfectly. The dish is also garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and basil leaves, which adds a touch of freshness and flavor. This pasta dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
