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.

Add tomato paste to the boiling water and whisk together to create a bright red stock.

In a large metal or cast iron pan, add garlic and red pepper flakes with olive oil.

Sauté until the garlic starts to sizzle.

Add the spaghetti to the pan and coat it with the tomato sauce.

Slowly add the tomato stock to the pan, allowing the spaghetti to absorb the liquid.

Stir the spaghetti gently to ensure it cooks evenly and becomes sticky.

Continue adding stock as needed and watch for the bottom of the pan to get burnt and crispy.

Once the spaghetti is al dente, turn off the heat and let it rest for about 30 seconds.

Prepare a fresh salad with extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt to serve alongside the pasta.
