Step 1

If using fresh tomatoes, you’ll need to blanch them first to remove the tough skins (see below). If using canned tomatoes, skip the blanching step and jump straight to cooking. You’ll need to chop them into small pieces first, and add to the pan with their juice.

Step 2

Boil a large pot of water. Cut a small X on the bottom of each tomato (the skin will peel off easier). Blanch the tomatoes for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon; do not drain the pot of water. Run the tomatoes under cold water to stop the cooking process. Remove the skins with your hands- they should slip right off. Next, slice the tomatoes in half and scoop out the seeds (I do this over a bowl). Dice the tomatoes into small pieces. At this point, the blanched, chopped tomatoes can be stored in the fridge up to 4 days or frozen up to 3 months.

Step 3

Save the blanching water to cook the pasta (or save it to water your plants or garden if not using right away).

Step 4

In a large 12-inch (30 cm) skillet warm the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions or shallots (if using) until soft and translucent, 5-7 minutes. Add the smashed garlic clove; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.

Step 5

Add the tomatoes to the pan. Season with salt. Give it a quick stir with a wooden spoon. Bring to a gentle boil, lower the heat and simmer until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened, about 15-20 minutes depending on variety (the juicier the tomatoes the longer it will take to cook). Towards the end of cooking, tear the fresh basil leaves into small pieces and stir into the sauce.

Step 6

To finish, remove the garlic clove. Puree the sauce with an immersion blender or regular blender to create a semi-rustic or smooth texture. Or, don’t puree at all- your choice. Your sauce. Taste and correct with more salt, if needed.

Step 7

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, have your pomodoro sauce simmering and ready to go in a 12-inch pan (the pasta will finish cooking in the sauce). When the pasta is aldente, use tongs or a small strainer to transfer it into the pan. Add the butter if using, and stir well. Shave some parmesan cheese over the pasta; toss to coat. Simmer and toss for 30 seconds. Transfer your delicious pasta al pomodoro to a large serving bowl and garnish with fresh basil on top. Enjoy!
