Hey friends! Today, I’m excited to share a delightful recipe that embraces the essence of fresh ingredients—Farm to Table Spaghetti with Tomatoes and Basil. It’s a simple dish that bursts with flavor, making it perfect for family dinners or a cozy evening at home.
Ingredients:
- Fresh spaghetti
- Ripe tomatoes, diced
- A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Spaghetti: Start by boiling a pot of salted water. Add the fresh spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the tomatoes soften and release their juices—about 5 minutes.
- Combine: Toss the drained spaghetti into the skillet with the tomato mixture. If it seems dry, add some reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.
- Finish with Basil: Remove from heat and fold in the torn basil leaves. Drizzle with more olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if you like. Serve immediately and enjoy!
