For me, it's not summer if I don't prepare a nice plate of spaghetti with fresh tomato sauce for my friends...
Ingredients for 4 people- 400g of spaghetti alla chitarra Pasta Armando
- 2 liters of tomato sauce
- 150 g of grated cheese
- 1 red onion from Tropea
- Extra virgin olive oil to taste
- Salt to taste
- Basil leaves to taste
In a large saucepan, sauté the chopped onion in plenty of olive oil. Then add the tomato sauce.
Bring the sauce to a boil and cover with a lid. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon, and after about an hour, the sauce will be ready.
A tip: to check if it's actually ready, pour a spoonful of sauce into a shallow dish. If you see too much water around the sauce, it needs to continue cooking. The sauce is ready when there's no excess water.
During the last few minutes of cooking, cook the spaghetti in a separate pan.
Once cooked, pour the pasta into the saucepan and stir for a few minutes, adding the cheese and basil leaves. Serve the spaghetti while still hot.
Enjoy your meal!
