Method
Directions to Prepare Manfredi al Pomodoro
- 1
Cook the Spaghetti
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 2
Prepare the Sauce
While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- 3
Add Tomatoes
Pour in the canned whole tomatoes, including the juice. Use a wooden spoon to break the tomatoes into smaller pieces. Bring the sauce to a simmer.

Season the Sauce
Add salt and black pepper to the sauce, adjusting to taste. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
- 5
Add Fresh Basil
Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the fresh basil leaves and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Combine and Serve
When the spaghetti is cooked, reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti. Add the drained spaghetti to the sauce and toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.

Garnish and Enjoy
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and additional fresh basil if desired.
