A Bizarre Way To Cook Pasta | Gino D'Acampo

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

anchovies

🥗Healthier: canned tuna

💰Cheaper: sardines

Canned tuna offers a lighter flavor while maintaining protein content.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is more affordable for frying.

tomato sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato puree

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Canned tomatoes are often less expensive and can be pureed at home.

Boil water in a pan.

Pour tomato paste into the boiling water to create a bright red stock; stir to combine.

In a separate pan, add garlic and chili with olive oil; heat until the garlic starts to sizzle.

Add spaghetti to the pan with the garlic and chili; coat the spaghetti with the tomato sauce.

Slowly add the tomato stock to the spaghetti, allowing it to bubble and cook the pasta.

Stir the spaghetti around in the sauce to ensure it cooks evenly and becomes sticky.

Continue adding stock as needed and scrape the bottom of the pan to achieve a crispy texture.

Check that the spaghetti is al dente; if not, continue cooking.

Turn off the heat and let the spaghetti rest for about 30 seconds before serving.
