Spaghetti with tomatoes is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that combines the freshness of tomatoes with the spicy kick of red hot chili peppers and the aromatic touch of basil. Whether you're looking for a quick weeknight dinner or a delightful weekend meal, this recipe is sure to satisfy your cravings.
- Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. You can also blanch and peel the tomatoes if you prefer a smoother sauce.
- Adjust the amount of chili peppers according to your spice tolerance. For a milder version, remove the seeds or use fewer peppers.
- To enhance the flavor, allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes on low heat.
- If you prefer a richer sauce, add a splash of white wine or a tablespoon of tomato paste while cooking the tomatoes.
- Feel free to add other ingredients like capers or garlic to elevate the taste profile of this dish.
- Remember to reserve some pasta water before draining. Adding a little of the starchy water to the sauce can help it bind better to the spaghetti.
Your spaghetti with tomatoes is now ready to be enjoyed. The combination of fresh ingredients and simple preparation make this dish a perfect go-to for any occasion. Serve it hot, garnished with extra basil leaves or a sprinkle of cheese if desired. Buon appetito!
