SIMPLE SPAGHETTI WITH TOMATO SAUCE
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.

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.

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.
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes. The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your sauce will be.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the tomatoes, make sure to give them enough space so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the tomatoes will steam instead of brown.
- Cook the tomatoes until they are soft and caramelized. This will develop their flavor and give the sauce a rich, deep color.
- Add garlic and herbs at the end of cooking. This will prevent them from burning and becoming bitter.
- Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste until the sauce is perfectly balanced.
Conclusion:
This simple spaghetti with tomato garlic sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With just a few pantry staples, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
