Steps:

• Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water until it's al dente. Reserve 1 cup (235 ml) of the pasta water before draining.

• Cook tomatoes down for 5 minutes until they soften and release some of their juices.
• Then add the wine and allow that to reduce for 5-10 minutes until you're left with a syrupy sauce.
• Add the pasta to your sauce, along with a splash of pasta water and toss to coat it for about 1-2 minutes so the pasta finishes cooking and absorbs the flavor of the sauce.

• Gradually add small amounts of pasta water, as needed, until the sauce reaches your desired smoothness.
