Pasta Pomodoro Recipe
Image by oropeza
Olive oil
Black and red pepper
4 Medium tomatoes (Beefsteak, Brandywine, a mix of the two, etc)
Spaghetti for four (can use fresh, but high quality dry works best)
1 tbs. butter
Parmesean (fresh grated is best)
Basil (fresh) and/or thyme (fresh preferred) and/or oregano, chopped fine
– – –
Peel the tomatoes: easiest way is to quick blanch. Boil a pot of water, throw the tomatoes in for about 10 seconds, take them out, rinse them under cold water, the peels should slide right off.
Halve the tomatoes, remove tough part of the core / stem.
Prepare your oil: Heat olive oil over medium heat, with a little red and black pepper. WARNING: Go easy on the red pepper, you can’t undo this if you get it too spicy.
Cook the tomatoes: throw the tomatoes in the pot, let them soften for a few minutes, then mash with a spoon or potato masher. Don’t worry too much about the texture at this point. Lower to a simmer, salt lightly, cook for about 30 minutes. Stir / mash sporadically. Reducing is a goal, though you don’t want to reduce too soon, which is why we need a simmer.
Cook the spaghetti: Stop about 1 min before it’s ‘done’.
Warm the plates: In the oven. 200 degrees, 5 mins. Do not serve pasta pomodoro on cold plates. Period. WARNING: If you’re going to skip this as too fussy, you might as well stop, throw the whole mess out, and just open a jar of Prego.
Bring the pasta to the sauce: I always add in stages, because there’s nothing worst than too much pasta / too little sauce.
Let them dance: Turn the heat up to medium-low. Stir. Test the pasta… I usually let this stage go 2-3 minutes, but if I’ve under/overcooked the pasta in the previous step, I might go longer/shorter.
Finish: Off heat, but still in the pan, add butter, grated parmesan cheese and herbs.
