Ingredients
- ½ lb spaghetti
- 1 4.5 oz can diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoon sliced hot cherry peppers
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (plus more for serving, if desired)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 12 garlic cloves, minced
- salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- ½ cup pasta water (plus more, as needed)
- fresh grated parmesan cheese, for serving
- fresh basil leaves, for serving
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for your pasta.
- Add diced tomatoes and cherry peppers to a blender or food processor, and pulse until almost smooth.
- In a large deep skillet or large saucepan, heat extra virgin olive oil over medium-low heat.
- Add onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and stir. Cook until just fragrant. About 30 seconds.
- Add tomato paste and stir to combine. Cook, sorting occasionally, 2-3 minutes until color is slightly deepened.
- Add the pureed peppers and tomatoes, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- While the sauce simmers, cook your pasta to al dente. Al dente pasta is best, as it will continue to cook a bit in the sauce. Be sure to cook to al dente according to package instructions, as all pasta varies a bit.
- Add pasta water to sauce, and add spaghetti directly to the pot.
- Stir well, and add pasta water as needed for desired consistency.
- Serve hot with grated parmesan and fresh torn basil leaves.
