Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Tomatoes

Start by preparing the ripe tomatoes. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Score the bottom of each tomato with a small 'X' using a sharp knife.

2

Once the water is boiling, carefully place the tomatoes in the pot for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until the skin starts to peel back. Remove the tomatoes and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

3

Peel the tomatoes, remove the seeds, and chop them into small pieces. Set aside.

4

Cook the Pasta

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.

5

Reserve a cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.

6

Make the Sauce

In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

7

Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet, along with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

8

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Once the sauce has thickened slightly, add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss gently to combine, adding a bit of the reserved pasta water if needed to reach the desired consistency.

9

Tear the fresh basil leaves and add them to the pasta. Toss again to distribute evenly.

10

Serve

Plate the pasta and garnish with additional basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Pasta Filetto di Pomodoro!
