80 Mi n - Kcal 41 4 - 4 Servings

Ingredients

320 g – 11,2 oz – 1 and 3/8 cup of spaghetti

800 g – 28,2 oz – 3 and 1/2 cups of peeled tomatoes

30 g – 1 oz – 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 garlic clove

basil to taste, fine salt to taste

Cooking Instructions

1. Start by preparing the sauce. In a frying pan pour the extra-virgin olive oil together with the garlic clove, peeled and divided in half, so that you can remove the soul to make the scent more delicate. After 2 minutes of cooking over high heat, add the peeled tomatoes and add salt to taste.

2. Cover with a lid and cook for at least 1 hour over very low heat: the sauce should simmer gently. Stir from time to time. After the indicated time has elapsed, remove the garlic and pass the tomatoes through a vegetable mill to obtain a smooth and homogeneous puree.

3. Transfer the sauce back to the pan, turn the heat very low and add the basil leaves. After a few minutes, you can turn off the sauce and keep warm. At this point, all you have to do is cook the pasta in plenty of boiling, salted water.

4. Drain the spaghetti al dente directly into the sauce and stir for a few moments over high heat to mix everything. Your spaghetti with tomato sauce is ready, all you have to do is serve and garnish with fresh basil!

Useful Tips

The long cooking time of the tomato ensures you a more flavorful taste. For more intense color, add a little tomato paste. You can prepare the sauce ahead of time or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days, as long as it is well covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight glass container. If you prefer, you can also freeze the sauce.
