Spaghetti Al Pomodoro Spaghetti With Tomato Sauce Recipes

PASTA POMODORO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Pour olive oil in a large deep skillet over high-heat. Saute onions and garlic until lightly browned. Reduce heat to medium-high and add tomatoes, vinegar and chicken broth; simmer for about 8 minutes.
• Stir in red pepper, black pepper, basil and cooked pasta, tossing thoroughly with sauce. Simmer for about 5 more minutes and serve topped with grated cheese.

SPAGHETTI WITH POMODORO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Cut a thin slice from the stem end of the tomatoes and score the other end by cutting a small "x." Place the tomatoes in a small bowl, toss with enough olive to coat and season lightly with salt and pepper. Stand the tomatoes up on their cut sides in a baking dish and place in the oven to cook until the skins are lightly blistered, about 6 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, set up a pasta roller attachment on a stand mixer (or secure a hand roller to the side of your work surface) and set it on the widest setting. Lightly dust a baking sheet and work surface with semolina and roll out your dough with a rolling pin until it is thin enough to pass through the pasta roller. Turn on the pasta roller and pass the dough through once, then fold in half, dust with semolina flour, and put through the roller again. Keep dusting lightly with semolina flour as needed if the dough seems sticky or damp. Go the next setting and pass the pasta through the roller (without folding). Go to the third setting and repeat. Go to the fourth setting and repeat (you will have rolled the dough to a medium thickness; it should not be translucent).
• Once the pasta is rolled, cut the long sheet into 10- to 12-inch sections, stacking them on top of each other with a dusting of semolina in between. (You should end up with 4 or 5 sections.) To cut by hand, fold each sheet in half, then in half again. With either of the folded ends facing you, cut very thin slices to achieve a thin noodle. To cut with the pasta machine, use the spaghetti roller attachment and put each section of rolled dough through the machine one at a time. Put the cut spaghetti on the prepared baking sheet; toss to coat with semolina and roll into 4 to 5 nests. Each nest is about one serving.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a rapid boil.
• Remove the skins from the tomatoes with your hands or a paring knife (if they have been properly roasted the skin should lift easily). Squeeze out the juice and seeds, then break up what is left of the tomato flesh with your hands and transfer to a bowl.
• Put the oil, garlic and chiles in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic cloves are lightly browned, about 1 minute; add the tomatoes and any juice that has accumulated in the bowl. Season with salt and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and hold for the pasta.
• Drop the pasta into the boiling water and stir immediately. Leave the pasta to cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the cooked pasta to the pan with the sauce; toss and simmer until well combined. Add the basil and Parmesan and toss well. Serve, drizzle with olive oil and more Parmesan.
• Mound the flour in the center of a clean countertop or cutting board. Make a well in the center of the flour 3 to 4 inches wide.
• Crack the eggs into the well and add a pinch of salt. Using a fork, break the yolks and begin to beat the eggs as you would if making scrambled eggs.
• Continue stirring the eggs with a fork in large circles, slowly incorporating the flour. When the eggs form a thick mass and become difficult to stir, about 3 minutes, fold the loose flour from the edges into the pile with a bench scraper and knead until a smooth dough forms. Discard any excess flour.
• Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and set aside to rest for 20 minutes before rolling. If waiting more than 1 hour, refrigerate or freeze the dough. The dough will keep refrigerated for up to 24 hours.

CAPELLINI POMODORO (PASTA WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water.
• Score a shallow "x" in the bottom of the tomatoes. Add tomatoes to the boiling water and cook uncovered until skin starts to peel off, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Peel tomatoes.
• Transfer peeled tomatoes to a food mill, and process until smooth.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, saving 1/4 cup of the pasta water for the sauce.
• While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add garlic and salt and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add pureed tomatoes and as much pasta water as desired. Simmer until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Divide pasta amongst 4 serving bowls. Top with tomato sauce and sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve immediately.

AUDREY HEPBURN'S SPAGHETTI AL POMODORO RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Dice the carrots, onion, and celery. Thinly slice half of the basil leaves. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook until softened but not brown.
• Add in the whole basil leaves, garlic, and tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking apart the larger tomatoes as they cook.
• After 45 minutes, or when the vegetables are tender, remove the sauce from the heat and let rest for 15 minutes.
• While the sauce is simmering, fill another large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add salt, if desired. Cook the spaghetti until al dente. Drain and rinse the pasta with lukewarm water to prevent sticking.
• Taste the sauce and add salt, if desired. Serve pasta topped generously with sauce, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and the reserved sliced basil leaves.
