BAKED SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH TOMATOES AND BASIL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Sauté sausage and onion together over medium-high heat, breaking sausage into pieces as it cooks. Once sausage is mostly browned, add garlic and carrot and continue cooking a minute longer.
• Add chopped tomatoes, basil, and Italian seasoning and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes until tomatoes break down into a sauce.
• Add kale, salt, and pepper and adjust seasonings to taste. Mix in spaghetti and half of parmesan. Add to casserole dish and sprinkle remaining parmesan on top.
• Bake in preheated oven 20 - 30 minutes, until cheese is melted.

SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Blanch the tomatoes and remove the skins. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Cut the tomatoes crosswise. Set aside in a bowl.
• Heat 3 ounces olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it smokes slightly. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Since the tomatoes will reduce and the salt will be concentrated, it is better to season initially with a lighter hand.
• Chop the tomatoes with a potato masher until they are in fine chunks and all their liquid is released. Be sure they are chopped and crushed fine, for a semichunky sauce. Simmer for 25 minutes over medium heat.
• While the sauce simmers, heat the water for the pasta. Cook the spaghetti in salted water about half of the way cooked. Drain, reserving some of the water.
• Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add the pasta to the sauce and cook over medium-high heat until all the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is al dente. If the sauce is over-reduced, use the pasta cooking liquid to adjust it.
• At the last moment, remove the pan from the heat; add the extra-virgin olive oil, butter, basil and cheese. Mix thoroughly until the pasta is an orangy color. Taste again and adjust the salt if necessary. Remove to a platter. Serve.

FRESH SPAGHETTI WITH TOMATOES AND BASIL

Steps:

• In a large skillet heat the oil, then stir in the garlic. Before the garlic browns, stir in the tomatoes, basil, red pepper and salt to taste. Simmer for about 25 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
• While the sauce is simmering bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When the sauce is cooked, add the spaghetti to the boiling water, stirring to separate the strands. When the water returns to the boil, cook for about a minute, then drain.
• Divide the spaghetti among four to six warmed plates, add the sauce and serve at once. Pass grated parmesan cheese on the side.
