Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus 4 tablespoons
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 1 cup small dice onion
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh oregano leaves
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup reserved pasta cooking water
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 cup freshly chopped basil leaves

Directions

Preheat the oven to broil.

Set a large, 4 to 6-quart stockpot filled with water over high heat and bring to a boil. Season the water with the kosher salt, 2 tablespoons olive oil and add the spaghetti. While the pasta cooks, set a 14-inch saute pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and slightly caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the oregano and basil. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and tomato paste and stir well to combine. Continue to cook the sauce until it is slightly reduced, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the heavy cream to the pan. By this time the pasta should be almost al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of pasta water. Add the pasta and the 1 cup of reserved cooking water to the sauce in the pan and and season with the salt and pepper. Continue to cook, tossing the pasta, until it is well coated with the sauce and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with the Parmesan and top with chopped basil.

    When I first saw the movie No Reservations I salivated over the food. When I found this recipe I couldn't wait to try it and am so glad I did! I Have made this recipe numerous times. Guests rave and ask for the recipe each time I serve it. For a person with an extremely sensitive palate the flavors in this dish blend nicely. Not your typical meaty spaghetti, a very nice dish that is easy to make. Fresh herbs is a must. Pairs nicely with a green salad.

    I've made this recipie twice now. The first time I made it I blended the sauce because I don't like chunky sauce. Then it turned out a little too smooth, but it was still amazing. The second time I blended about half of it and cooked it longer. It turned out even better! I also used dired herbs (2 tsp. of each oregano and basil insted of fresh. This dish even tastes great as leftovers, even though I'm not a huge leftover fan. My family and I absolutely love this dish.
