It’s hard to beat Barry’s mom’s spaghetti recipe in "The Flash." Not only is it an important food moment in the movie, but we can also attest that it's delicious in real life. The recipe calls for plenty of garlic, fresh basil—and, of course, two cans of the all-important organic crushed tomatoes that she insisted on. A long simmer helps meld the flavors, resulting in a sauce that is perfect with both fresh or dried pasta.

Ingredients
Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until tender and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until softened and starting to darken, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, sugar, crushed red pepper flakes, basil sprigs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has deepened in color and reduced slightly, about 1 hour. Add more salt and crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well.
- Add the pasta to the tomato sauce and toss to combine. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Top with freshly grated Parmesan and more basil.
Cook’s Note
For a smoother tomato sauce, puree the simmered sauce with an immersion blender to the desired consistency.
