Ingredients
- 400 g bucatini 14 oz
For the tomato sauce:
- 300-400 g tomatoes 12-14 oz, chopped
- 2 garlic peeled and slightly crushed, cloves
- red bell pepper trimmed and cut into strips or small dice
- oregano a pinch
- red pepper flakes a pinch
- basil a few leaves
- olive oil
For the zucchini:
- 1 zucchini sliced, or 2 small
- olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
For the topping (optional):
- parsley finely minced, fresh
Instructions
- Set a large pot of water to boil and salt it well.
- Sauté the garlic cloves lightly in abundant olive oil. Remove when they've browned, but are still not very dark. Add the bell pepper and let it sauté for just a minute or two, then add the chopped tomatoes, along with a pinch of oregano and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Simmer until the mixture thickens into a sauce, about perhaps 10-15 minutes.
- While the tomatoes are simmering, add the bucatini to the boiling water.
- Meanwhile, trim off the tops and bottoms of the zucchini, cut them into thin rounds, then shallow-fry them in olive oil until golden brown on each side. Drain on paper towels and salt generously.
- When the bucatini are done al dente, transfer them to the pan with the sauce, along with a few fresh basil leaves and most of the fried zucchini. Mix for a minute or two over low heat then serve, topped with the rest of the fried zucchini slices and, if you like, a sprinkling of finely minced parsley.
