tomato sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato puree

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

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

Smash down the San Marzano tomatoes in a bowl, leaving some larger pieces.

Cook the sauce in a saucepan with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes.

Add the smashed tomatoes to the pan and stir to combine.

Season with salt and black pepper, and add fresh basil leaves.

Cover and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes.

In a wide pan over medium-low heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, and red chili flakes.

Add 0.5 lb of spaghetti to the pan and stir to coat with oil.

Once the pasta changes color, add hot water gently to avoid breaking it.

Add 1 cup of the prepared pasta sauce and allow it to cook, stirring occasionally.

Continue adding more water and pasta sauce, repeating until the pasta is fully cooked.

Once the pasta is nearly cooked, allow the water to evaporate and the sauce to adhere to the pasta.

Spread the pasta evenly across the pan and let it char for about 20 seconds before folding it over with a spatula.

Repeat the charring process until desired crispiness is achieved.

Turn off the heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated parmasano regano.
