Tomato Basil Spaghettini Pasta 30 Min Recipes

SPAGHETTINI WITH ROASTED TOMATOES, FRESH BASIL, AND TOASTED GARLIC BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• Roast Tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). If your oven runs hot, I recommend reducing the temperature by 25°F or so, or reducing the cook time and watching the tomatoes carefully.
• Bring a large pot (8 quarts or larger) of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Rinse the tomatoes and pat them dry. Place the tomatoes and smashed garlic cloves on a half sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and season with kosher salt and pepper. Spread them out evenly. Roast the tomatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them every 5 to 10 minutes or so, until they are soft and have just begun to collapse. Meanwhile, prepare the breadcrumb topping.
• Prepare Garlic Breadcrumb Topping: In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shallots have softened and become translucent. Add the panko breadcrumbs and chopped garlic. Reduce the heat to low and toast the breadcrumbs for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the breadcrumbs from burning - or until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and place the breadcrumbs in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• Cook the Pasta: While the tomatoes finish roasting (and the breadcrumbs are prepared), boil the pasta until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the starchy pasta cooking water and drain the pasta. Place the pasta back into the pot and drizzle with a glug of olive oil, and gently toss to coat. Add the warm, roasted tomato and garlic mixture as well as the basil ribbons, and toss gently until combined. Add reserved pasta water as needed to help loosen the pasta until the sauce coats the noodles evenly.
• Garnish each pasta serving with basil, torn or sliced into thin ribbons, and a generous sprinkling of toasted garlic breadcrumbs. Serve with freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese.

TOMATO BASIL SPAGHETTINI PASTA (30-MIN. RECIPE)

Steps:

• In a pot, boil water for your pasta to Al Dente according to package instructions. The key to making this recipe delicious is having Al Dente pasta. Remember to reserve some of the pasta water.
• Meanwhile in another large shallow pan on low - medium heat, add olive oil
• Then add garlic. Allow garlic to "sweat" for 30 - 45 seconds here and do not brown it. Browned garlic will not taste good in your pasta. We are trying to infuse the oil with garlic.
• Optional: if you want a spicy pasta, add hot pepper flakes here and stir for 1 minute.
• Increase the heat to medium high, add cherry/grape tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes until they're soft.
• Add your canned tomatoes with the juice. Break apart them into bite size pieces with your cooking utensil. Allow this to cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Now pour the reserved pasta water into your sauce. Cook for 5 minutes and stir to allow the sauce to thicken.
• Reduce heat to low, add half of the basil leaves into the sauce and cook for 1 minute.
• Drain your pasta and pour hot pasta into your sauce. Turn off heat and stir pasta into sauce.
• Remove pan off heat. Now stir in your remaining basil leaves. Save some as a garnish. Enjoy!

• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, half of the basil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent - about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and the tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer while you break up the tomatoes with the side of a spoon. Simmer gently for about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Blanch the tomatoes and remove the skins. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Cut the tomatoes crosswise. Set aside in a bowl.
• Heat 3 ounces olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it smokes slightly. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Since the tomatoes will reduce and the salt will be concentrated, it is better to season initially with a lighter hand.
• Chop the tomatoes with a potato masher until they are in fine chunks and all their liquid is released. Be sure they are chopped and crushed fine, for a semichunky sauce. Simmer for 25 minutes over medium heat.
• While the sauce simmers, heat the water for the pasta. Cook the spaghetti in salted water about half of the way cooked. Drain, reserving some of the water.
• Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add the pasta to the sauce and cook over medium-high heat until all the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is al dente. If the sauce is over-reduced, use the pasta cooking liquid to adjust it.
• At the last moment, remove the pan from the heat; add the extra-virgin olive oil, butter, basil and cheese. Mix thoroughly until the pasta is an orangy color. Taste again and adjust the salt if necessary. Remove to a platter. Serve.
