Spaghetti With Fresh Tomato Sauce

Twirl your fork into this vibrant Spaghetti with Fresh Tomato Sauce, a true Italian classic! Bursting with juicy tomatoes and aromatic basil, this dish will transport your taste buds straight to the heart of Italy.

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water until it’s al dente. Reserve 1 cup (235 ml) of the pasta water before draining.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Cook tomatoes down for 5 minutes until they soften and release some of their juices.

4. 4

   Then add the wine and allow that to reduce for 5-10 minutes until you’re left with a syrupy sauce.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   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.

7. 7

   Gradually add small amounts of pasta water, as needed, until the sauce reaches your desired smoothness.

8. 8

   Top off with extra parmesan and basil and serve immediately.

9. 9

   Enjoy!
