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.
