Recipe

Spaghetti al pomodoro

Spaghetti coated in a simple sauce of tinned tomatoes, garlic, onion and oregano.

What you’ll doYou will build a tomato sauce by softening finely chopped onion and garlic in olive oil, then simmering tinned tomatoes with oregano until the sauce has reduced by about a third — the step that demands the most patience. While the sauce finishes, you will boil the spaghetti in heavily salted water, drain it, and toss it directly in the sauce so every strand is coated before serving with grated parmesan.
