How to Make Pasta Pomodoro _ The Stay At Home Chef

Today .

I'm a stay at home chef .

I'm showing you how to make pasta paro .

This classic Italian pasta is simple but totally delicious .

It starts with 28 ounces of whole peeled tomatoes .

You wanna look for San Marzano style on the label because those have the most flavor .

We're gonna pour it all into a blender , all of those in there , pop the lid on and then we're gonna puree these until they're smooth .

Once that's pureed , set it aside , we're gonna head on over to the stove and get a large skillet heating over medium high heat .

First , get three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil heating up and then we'll add in one finely diced onion saute this for about five minutes until the onions start to turn soft and translucent .

Then we'll add in five cloves of minced garlic and a quarter teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes .

Give this a quick saute .

You only need to cook the garlic for about 60 seconds .

Then we're gonna pour in our tomato puree .

Get that all in there , scrape out some sticking to the sides .

Then we're gonna season it with about half a teaspoon of salt , bring this to a simmer and then turn the heat to low and let it simmer for another 10 minutes .

This will help the sauce develop a little bit more flavor .

Meanwhile , we're gonna cook our pasta , cook a pound of spaghetti noodles in salted boiling water until Al Dente .

Once your pasta has reached Al Dente , go ahead and drain it and pour that in with the sauce and then we'll toss to coat .

I'm actually gonna switch to my tongues here .

It will be a little easier to toss that way .

Then we're gonna add in two tablespoons of salted butter .

The heat from the pasta will melt this as we toss it all in and then you'll also need a quarter cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese .

Keep tossing , using freshly grated Parmesan cheese makes all the difference .

Once the butter is melted and the cheese is mixed in .

You're ready to eat , serve this up hot , topped with some freshly chopped basil .
