Recipe: GARDEN-FRESH SUMMERY PASTA |
Author: Rose Lopez
- 8 ounces Spaghetti
- 3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
- ¼ Tsp. Oregano Flakes
- 1 large, Shallot, chopped
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced, plus 3 cloves
- 2 Plum Tomatoes, grated
- 1 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
- 2 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
- ½ cup White Wine (I used McManis Chardonnay)
- 4 chopped Basil Leaves, plus more for topping
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan Cheese, plus more for topping
- Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook per the directions on the box. Add 3 cloves of garlic to the water to add flavor. Add a splash of olive oil in the boiling water (this will help to keep the spaghetti from sticking). Reserve ¼ cup cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- Drizzle olive oil in a large saute over medium-high heat. Add the cherry tomatoes, oregano and salt to taste. Cook the tomatoes until soften but not broken, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- In the same pan, drizzle more olive oil and add minced garlic, chopped shallots, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste, saute until shallots are translucent, 1-2 minutes. Add the grated tomatoes, wine and cook until sauce is reduced by half, 1-2 minutes. Add butter and cook for another minute. Add the cherry tomatoes from the bowl, parmesan to sauce. Stir for a few seconds and turn off heat.
- Drain pasta, discard the garlic cloves, add sauce, toss and then transfer to a large serving bowl. Sprinkle basil, parmesan cheese and serve.
