Spaghetti al Pomodoro


This is a simple and delicious spaghetti recipe from Saveur Cooks: Authentic Italian. It makes 4 servings
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 28 oz can peeled whole San Marzano tomatoes (I've found similar tomatoes at Trader Joes and at some supermarkets)
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • 1 lb spaghetti
  • Freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and saute, stirring frequently, until golden, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, along with the juice from the can. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Increase heat to high, bring sauce to a boil, and cook until liquid has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes. Add basil leaves and cook for 15 minutes more.

Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain in a colander, add pasta to sauce, and stir well. Serve with parmigiano.
