Spaghetti con Pomodorini e Pecorino: Spaghetti with Cherry Tomatoes and Pecorino image

Provided by Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound/450 g spaghetti
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons/59 ml extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
25 cherry tomatoes, halved
Bunch fresh basil leaves, leaves torn
Freshly grated Pecorino cheese, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Place the spaghetti in salted boiling water. Stir to prevent the strands from sticking together.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat up the olive oil in a saucepan and gently saute the garlic until golden. Add the tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes become soft. Season with salt.
  • About 2 minutes before the spaghetti is at the 'al dente' stage, drain, reserving approximately 1 1/2 cups of pasta water.
  • Add the spaghetti and pasta water to the saucepan. The pasta water will help lengthen and loosen the sauce. Turn off the heat. Add the torn basil leaves and cook together for approximately 30 seconds. Generously sprinkle Pecorino cheese and mix well. Drizzle with olive oil. Transfer the spaghetti to a serving bowl. Top with more Pecorino cheese and serve immediately.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon roughly chopped onions
4 cups canned whole plum tomatoes (about one 35-ounce can)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 fresh basil leaves
One 6-ounce can Italian tuna packed in olive oil
1 pound spaghetti or linguine

Steps:

  • Warm 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a small saucepan set over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, crushing them well with the back of a slotted spoon or by squeezing them through your fingers while adding them to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the basil. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Drain half of the olive oil from the canned tuna. Flake the tuna into the tomato sauce. Cover and simmer to heat through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside while the pasta cooks. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, following the package instructions. Drain, then toss the pasta with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add about 3 ladlesful of sauce and continue tossing. Distribute evenly among four dinner plates. Ladle the remaining sauce on top, and serve immediately.
