Ingredients
12 ounces spaghetti, broken in half
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped
Handful fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish
Large pinch crushed red pepper
Kosher salt
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Directions
- Put the spaghetti, oil, tomato paste, garlic, tomatoes, basil, crushed red pepper and 1 teaspoon salt in a high-sided medium skillet. Add 5 cups water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue to cook, stirring the spaghetti frequently to keep it from clumping, until it is al dente and the sauce has reduced and thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the Parmesan (the sauce will thicken more), and season with salt if needed. Divide the spaghetti among 4 bowls, and garnish with more Parmesan and torn basil leaves.
