Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/2 lbs tomatoes (vine-ripened or cherry or baby pear) or 28 ounces Italian plum tomatoes
8 ounces spaghetti
1/4 cup olive oil (extra-virgin)
4 garlic cloves, cut into 1/8 inch pieces
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh basil (loosely packed and torn) or 1/4 cup fresh parsley (loosely packed and torn)
parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated

Steps:

  • In a tall stockpot, bring 3 quarts of water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil.
  • In a separate pot, prepare the tomatoes by bringing a pot of water to a boil and peeling and seeding. Add 2 tablespoons salt to water to loosen skins. Cut a small X on bottom of each tomato and drop one or two into boiling water just until skin begins to curl. Lift out of water and drop into ice-water bath to stop the cooking. Return to boiling water of skins do not slip right off. Use a sharp knife to cut the outside fleshy part of the tomatoes into large pieces and cut them into strips. *If using whole canned tomatoes make sure you strain before adding to the pan.
  • Drop spaghetti into boiling salted water and stir. Cook until al dente, about 11 minutes.
  • Place a 12 inch saute pan over medium heat, and add the oil.
  • Add the garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is lightly golden, about 30 seconds. Add the red-pepper flakes and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until the garlic is medium golden, about 1 minute.
  • Increase heat to high. Tilting pan at an angle, add the reserved tomatoes. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down (pear tomatoes will burst and canned tomatoes will thicken).
  • Drain pasta in a colander, reserving 1 cup liquid in case sauce gets too dry when pasta is added. Add pasta to sauce in saute pan. Cook until the sauce begins to cling to the pasta, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the basil and cook 30 seconds more.
  • Divide among bowls, and sprinkle with cheese, if desired. Serve.

SPAGHETTI WITH TOMATO SAUTE



Spaghetti with Tomato Saute image

A medley of ripe cherry tomatoes burst within minutes of contact with high heat, and release juices that melt into a sauce of olive oil, garlic, and red-pepper flakes-just perfect for tossing with pasta for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. In the unlikely event of leftovers, this pasta is great at room temperature, too.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 pints red, orange, and yellow pear or cherry tomatoes (about 2 pounds), halved if large; plus a few more, still on the vine (optional)
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
Large pinch of red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
12 ounces spaghetti or bucatini
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely grated (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup fresh ricotta cheese
Small fresh basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • If you aren't using any tomatoes on vine, skip to step 2. Otherwise, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add tomatoes on vine, season with salt, and cook, gently stirring, until skins begin to pucker, about 3 minutes, depending on size. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in skillet over medium-high. Add garlic and remaining tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are just beginning to break down, 3 to 5 minutes. Add red-pepper flakes and season with salt. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water 1 minute less than package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain pasta and return to pot. Add 1/3 cup pasta water, tomato mixture, and Parmigiano.
  • Cook over medium heat, tossing, until pasta is evenly coated, about 2 minutes, adding more pasta water as needed. To serve, top pasta with ricotta and sautéed tomatoes on the vine (if using); drizzle pasta with oil, then sprinkle with more red-pepper flakes and basil.

PERFECT SPAGHETTI WITH TOMATO SAUCE



Perfect Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce image

This recipe's quickness depends on getting all the sauce ingredients and cooking equipment ready before you start cooking. Then, when the water's boiling, start the pasta, and saute the sauce at the same time.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 pounds baby pear tomatoes (or cherry or vine-ripened tomatoes), or one 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes
8 ounces thin, best-quality spaghetti
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, cut into 1/8-inch-thick pieces
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh basil or parsley leaves, loosely packed and torn
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, optional

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.
