Drained spaghetti tossed through simple tomato sauce. Ready to plate. The two minutes in the pan are not decorative — the pasta finishes cooking in the sauce, the starch on the surface of the spaghetti binds with the tomato, and the whole thing becomes coherent rather than sauce sitting on top of pasta. It holds its heat briefly; this is a dish that wants to move straight from pan to bowl.

What you’ll doYou will boil spaghetti in salted water while onion and garlic soften in olive oil and tomatoes simmer into a sauce. The drained pasta finishes cooking in the sauce for two minutes.
