I'm showing you how to make
Pasta Pomodoro
This classic Italian pasta is simple
but totally delicious.
It starts with 28 ounces of whole peeled tomatoes.
You want to look for San Marzano style on
the label
because those have the most flavor.
We're going to pour it all into a blender.
Get all of those in there.
Pop the lid on and then we're going to puree
these
until they are smooth.
Once that is pureed set it aside.
We're going to head on over to the stove
and get a large skillet heating over medium
high heat.
First get 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive
oil heating up.
And then we'll add in 1 finely diced white
onion.
Saute this until the onion starts to turn
soft and translucent.
Then we'll add in 5 cloves of minced garlic
and 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
Give this a quick saute.
You only need to cook the garlic for about
60 seconds.
Then we're going to pour in our tomato puree.
Get that all in there
scrape out some that is sticking to the sides
and then we're going to season it with about
1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Bring this to a simmer and then turn the heat
to low
and let it simmer for another 10 minutes.
This will help the sauce develop a little
bit more flavor.
Meanwhile we're going to cook our pasta.
Cook 1 pound of spaghetti noodles
in salted boiling water until al dente.
Once your pasta has reached al dente
go ahead and drain it.
And pour that in with the sauce
and then we'll toss to coat.
And i'm actually going to switch to my tongs
here.
It'll be a little easier to toss that way.
Then we're going to add in 2 tablespoons of
salted butter.
The heat from the pasta will melt this
as we toss it all in
and you'll also need
1/4 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Keep tossing.
Using freshly grated parmesan cheese
makes all the difference.
Once the butter is melted and the cheese is
mixed in
you're ready to eat.
Serve this up hot topped with
some freshly chopped basil.
