Long, thin spaghetti prepared with tomato sauce, cherry tomatoes and basil.
Spaghetti, with its long strands twirled around a fork, is one of the most familiar sights at a pasta table. A simple sauce of tomato, olive oil and basil gives you a lovely reason to return to it time after time. With no need for a long list of ingredients, the care you put into preparation lets the flavour shine.
Make the sauce by cooking chopped tomatoes with olive oil and garlic. Cook the spaghetti in a large pot for the time indicated on its pack. Reserve a little cooking water before draining. Transfer the pasta to the pan of sauce, adding the reserved water as needed to help the sauce coat the long strands evenly.
Add fresh basil just before serving and finish with a little grated cheese if you wish. Serve promptly after combining the pasta and sauce to keep the consistency you have prepared. With Nur Makarna Spaghetti, a single plate can become the loveliest detail of a meal shared after a long day.
