SPAGHETTI ALLA CHECCA RECIPE FROM ROME



Spaghetti alla Checca Recipe from Rome image

This simple but very tasty Italian vegetarian pasta recipe from Rome is very quick and easy to make. I added burrata but you can leave it out for a vegan or dairy-free version.

Provided by Jacqueline De Bono

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 10

400 g spaghetti ((14oz) I used spaghettoni from pastificio Sorrentinno, Gragnano)
400 g tomatoes ((14oz) fresh and ripe. I used piccadilly tomatoes from Sicily)
100 g pitted olives ((3.5oz) I used taggiasca olives)
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1 handful fresh basil
1 handful fresh parsley
3-4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 burrata ((fresh) )
salt (for pasta and to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper. (to taste)

Steps:

  • Cut the tomatoes into cubes and leave them in a colander to naturally lose some of their water, without removing the inner flesh with the seeds.
  • Chop the parsley and tear the basil leaves into pieces. Roughly chop the pitted olives.
  • Put a pot of water on to boil for the pasta. Add salt once it starts to boil and bring to the boil again.
  • Heat the olive oil in a frying pan or skillet. Let it heat gently, over a very low heat for about a minute. Add a tablespoon of chopped parsley, 4-5 chopped basil leaves and a pinch of fennel seeds and the olives
  • After a minute, add the chopped tomatoes to the mixture. Stir, season with salt, cover and cook slowly, over low heat for 10-15 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and season with a generous amount of freshly ground pepper. Add some more chopped fresh parsley and basil. Let the sauce rest while you cook the pasta. It helps to enhance the flavours!
  • Throw the spaghetti into the boiling salted water and cook al dente according to the instructions on the packet. When the pasta is ready save a cup of the cooking water and drain it.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce while it is still very hot. If the sauce seems dry, add some of the pasta cooking water or another couple of tablespoons of oil. If using a serving dish as I did, turn the pasta alla checca out into a serving bowl and then add the burrata. Sprinkle with more fresh parsley and basil. Serve immediately!

PASTA ALLA CHECCA



Pasta alla Checca image

Nora Ephron's take on the beautifully simple Italian classic recipe Pasta alla Checca. Linguine is mixed with a fresh, cold tomato sauce, with a light and flavorful result. This pasta is simple to put together and a wonderful way to use up fresh seasonal tomatoes.

Provided by Christine Melanson

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 large tomatoes (400-500g)
1 clove of garlic (sliced in two.)
1 cup a couple handfuls of torn fresh basil
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt (to taste)
Chili flakes (to taste)
14 oz linguine

Steps:

  • First, blanch your tomatoes. Bring a pot of water to the boil and put your tomatoes in, whole, for about a minute. You aren't trying to cook them, just get the skin loosened.
  • Remove the water and set aside until they are cool enough to handle.
  • Remove the skins, and then chop roughly and remove the seeds (whilst trying to keep as much of the juice as possible!)
  • Put the chopped tomatoes in a bowl with the olive oil, chili flakes, basil and garlic.
  • Set aside for a few hours, to let the flavors mingle.
  • When it's time to serve, cook your linguine according to package instructions. Drain and return to the pan.
  • Remove the garlic from the tomato sauce.
  • Mix the tomato sauce in with the linguine. (Do not have any heat on the pan at this stage - the tomatoes will warm up a little just by contact with the linguine but we don't want the end result to be piping hot).
  • Serve!

8 ounces thin spaghetti
2 pints cherry tomatoes (such as orange, red, and yellow teardrop varieties)

1 cup fresh arugula (optional)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
