Simple Spaghetti with Tomato & Basil
Serves 2 hungry people
160 grams Spaghetti
¼ cup tomato paste
1/2 cup water, or enough to thin the sauce
1 red onion, thinly sliced
Handful of fresh basil chopped
Extra Virgin Olive oil
Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
In a large pot of salted water, cook spaghetti per manufacturer's instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and toss in a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
In the same pot that you just cooked the spaghetti, heat about 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the red onions and sautee for just 1 minute, until starting to soften. Add tomato paste and water and cook for about 1 minute until the sauce is warm. The sauce should just coat the back of a spoon. Add more water if the sauce is too thick. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Add the cooked spaghetti into the sauce and toss until evenly coated. Add the freshly chopped basil and remove from heat. Divide onto 2 plates and drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy immediately.
