Best Spaghetti With Pomodoro Sauce Recipes

SPAGHETTI POMODORO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil.
• Place the olive oil and garlic in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Swirl the pan to coat the garlic with oil and heat until garlic sizzles but doesn't brown, about 30 seconds. Add the red pepper flakes and stir. Add the tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and sugar and stir to combine. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for at least 20 minutes but no more than 30. Add the basil for last 5 minutes of cooking. Remove the basil before serving.
• Meanwhile, with 10 minutes to spare before the sauce is done, generously salt the boiling water. Add the pasta and cook until tender but slightly firm. Set the timer for 2 minutes less than the package instructions specify and taste for doneness. Drain the pasta and transfer it to a serving bowl. Toss with 1/2 cup of the sauce. For each serving, spoon on a little extra sauce, grated Parmesan cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, and freshly ground black pepper on top of the pasta.

SPAGHETTI WITH POMODORO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Cut a thin slice from the stem end of the tomatoes and score the other end by cutting a small "x." Place the tomatoes in a small bowl, toss with enough olive to coat and season lightly with salt and pepper. Stand the tomatoes up on their cut sides in a baking dish and place in the oven to cook until the skins are lightly blistered, about 6 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, set up a pasta roller attachment on a stand mixer (or secure a hand roller to the side of your work surface) and set it on the widest setting. Lightly dust a baking sheet and work surface with semolina and roll out your dough with a rolling pin until it is thin enough to pass through the pasta roller. Turn on the pasta roller and pass the dough through once, then fold in half, dust with semolina flour, and put through the roller again. Keep dusting lightly with semolina flour as needed if the dough seems sticky or damp. Go the next setting and pass the pasta through the roller (without folding). Go to the third setting and repeat. Go to the fourth setting and repeat (you will have rolled the dough to a medium thickness; it should not be translucent).
• Once the pasta is rolled, cut the long sheet into 10- to 12-inch sections, stacking them on top of each other with a dusting of semolina in between. (You should end up with 4 or 5 sections.) To cut by hand, fold each sheet in half, then in half again. With either of the folded ends facing you, cut very thin slices to achieve a thin noodle. To cut with the pasta machine, use the spaghetti roller attachment and put each section of rolled dough through the machine one at a time. Put the cut spaghetti on the prepared baking sheet; toss to coat with semolina and roll into 4 to 5 nests. Each nest is about one serving.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a rapid boil.
• Remove the skins from the tomatoes with your hands or a paring knife (if they have been properly roasted the skin should lift easily). Squeeze out the juice and seeds, then break up what is left of the tomato flesh with your hands and transfer to a bowl.
• Put the oil, garlic and chiles in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic cloves are lightly browned, about 1 minute; add the tomatoes and any juice that has accumulated in the bowl. Season with salt and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and hold for the pasta.
• Drop the pasta into the boiling water and stir immediately. Leave the pasta to cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the cooked pasta to the pan with the sauce; toss and simmer until well combined. Add the basil and Parmesan and toss well. Serve, drizzle with olive oil and more Parmesan.
• Mound the flour in the center of a clean countertop or cutting board. Make a well in the center of the flour 3 to 4 inches wide.
• Crack the eggs into the well and add a pinch of salt. Using a fork, break the yolks and begin to beat the eggs as you would if making scrambled eggs.
• Continue stirring the eggs with a fork in large circles, slowly incorporating the flour. When the eggs form a thick mass and become difficult to stir, about 3 minutes, fold the loose flour from the edges into the pile with a bench scraper and knead until a smooth dough forms. Discard any excess flour.
• Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and set aside to rest for 20 minutes before rolling. If waiting more than 1 hour, refrigerate or freeze the dough. The dough will keep refrigerated for up to 24 hours.

PASTA POMODORO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Pour olive oil in a large deep skillet over high-heat. Saute onions and garlic until lightly browned. Reduce heat to medium-high and add tomatoes, vinegar and chicken broth; simmer for about 8 minutes.
• Stir in red pepper, black pepper, basil and cooked pasta, tossing thoroughly with sauce. Simmer for about 5 more minutes and serve topped with grated cheese.

POMODORO PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir the diced tomatoes, celery, carrots, sweet onion, garlic, tomato paste, water, red wine, sage, basil, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook the sauce at a simmer until the carrots are tender, about 1 hour.
• Pour the sauce into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway. Hold the lid of the blender in place with a towel and carefully start the blender using a few quick pulses to get the sauce moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean container. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the sauce in the pot.

• The sauce should be cooked through by the time the pasta is ready. If it is dried out, add some water from the pasta. It shouldn't be too liquid. drain the pasta when it is still a bit too al dente but almost done. Never was the pasta, the sauce needs the starch. Add the pasta to the sauce and cook for another minute or too.

PASTA AL POMODORO

Steps:

• Add the olive oil and garlic to a large Dutch oven or high-sided skillet. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook the garlic, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly golden, and small rapid bubbles form around the cloves, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove the garlic from the pot and discard (or eat).
• Carefully and gently lower the chopped tomatoes into the hot oil and cook, stirring constantly, until the tomatoes let off some liquid and the sauce starts to bubble steadily. Season generously with salt. Lower the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the sauce reduces significantly, about 40 minutes.
• Set a metal sieve, strainer or food mill over a medium bowl. Carefully pour in the tomato sauce. If using a sieve or strainer, push the sauce through with a spoon or flexible spatula, until all that remains are seeds and skins. Be sure to repeatedly scrape off the valuable pulp collecting on the bottom of the sieve (by holding the sieve down against the edge of the bowl and pulling it back). You should have about 2 cups of sauce in the bowl. Taste and add more salt, if needed, then return the sauce to the Dutch oven.
• Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain the pasta and add to the sauce.
• Turn the heat to high and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce reduces slightly and the pasta is well coated but not drowned in the sauce, about 2 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit so the pasta can absorb the sauce further, about 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.
