Tower's Grand Tour: Spaghetti Pomodoro

Tower's Grand Tour: Spaghetti Pomodoro

11 Feb 2025


10-15 MINS


15-20 MINS


4

INGREDIENTS
200g Spaghetti
400g Canned whole tomatoes
2-3 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
Fresh basil leaves, torn
Salt and black pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

METHOD

Prepare the Sauce:

1.    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.


2.    Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, but not browned (about 1 minute).


3.     Add the canned tomatoes, crushing them with a spoon or fork. You can also use a potato masher to break them down further.


4.     Season with salt and pepper, then let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavours meld together.

Cook the Spaghetti:


1.     In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Add a generous amount of salt (it should taste like the sea).


2.     Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. This usually takes around 8-10 minutes.


3.     Reserve a cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.

Combine Pasta and Sauce:


1.     Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, use a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.


2.     Toss the spaghetti in the sauce, ensuring it's evenly coated. Add the remaining olive oil and stir in the torn basil leaves.


3.     Serve the spaghetti hot, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired. You can also garnish with extra basil leaves.

 

TIP

Use quality tomatoes – San Marzano or ripe, sweet fresh tomatoes make all the difference.
