How Do You Make Spaghetti Al Pomodoro E Basilico?
• Use only the highest quality and freshest ingredients. • Start a pot of water boiling and follow the instructions for “How to Make Pasta” for the spaghetti or linguine. • Meanwhile pour some olive oil in a medium saucepan and add 3 cloves of garlic unpeeled. • Cook over medium heat until the garlic peel is brown. • Turn the heat off and discard the garlic. • Add tomatoes, salt and pepper to the oil. • Add water. A good estimate is half a can of water for each can of tomatoes or for each three tomatoes. • Stir periodically over low heat until the sauce thickens. • Pour the sauce over the pasta in a mixing bowl. Add the fresh uncooked basil. • Add grated pecorino and Parmesan cheese (half and half). Separate into serving dishes and sprinkle cheese on top.
