Inspired by the most famous tomato sauce on the internet, from Marcella Hazan's Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking. Here, we use our best tomato sauce for an exceptional and easy pasta to become your go-to dish.
Ingredients
1 pound good-quality pasta
2 (14 oz) cans whole San Marzano tomatoes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt, to taste
¼ cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, shaved
Basil leaves to garnish, optional
Preparation
Heat olive oil in medium pot over medium high heat; add tomatoes squishing them through your hands, and reduce for 10 minutes. Add salt to taste.
Meanwhile cook spaghetti in large pot of well-salted boiling water until firm but tender, about 6 minutes. Drain partially cooked spaghetti, reserving 1 cup pasta water.
Add spaghetti to tomato sauce with ½ cup reserved pasta water and increase heat to medium-high. Cook 5 minutes or until pasta is firm but tender, tossing to combine. (Add additional pasta water if needed or discard remaining ½ cup).
To serve, divide pasta into bowls; drizzle with olive oil and generously top with Parmigiano Reggiano. Top with basil leaves. Serves 4.
