Classic Napolitana Spaghetti

This classic Italian Spaghetti dish is confirmation that the simple things in life are often the best (and even better if you know a few tricks!). In this recipe, I shave the garlic into very thin discs using a mandolin slicer, mashes up the best-quality Italian tinned tomatoes with his hands, and tears the basil, adding it last so it stays fresh and green.

Ingredients :
  • 1/2 cup Grated pecorino
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Basil leaves
  • 400 g Tomatoes
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • 5 tbsp. Olive oil
  • 350 g Gluten-free spaghetti
Directions :
  1. Cook pasta as per packet directions, retaining 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  2. In a pan on medium heat, add oil and garlic. Cook for 2 mins or until garlic is just colouring.
  3. Remove garlic.
  4. Add tomatoes to the pan and crush with a wooden spoon.
  5. Add half a cup of pasta water to the pan and cook for 3 to 4 mins, stirring constantly on a medium heat.
  6. Stir through basil and turn off heat, before seasoning with salt & pepper.
  7. Add drained pasta and half the pecorino to the sauce and stir.
  8. Serve with remaining pecorino sprinkled over the top.
