Pasta Pomodoro
Report
Pasta Pomodoro is Italian cuisine at its best. Simple yet bold flavors bring the classic dish to life. Easy for a weeknight, but special enough for guests on the weekend. This is one of our all-time favorite pasta dishes.

Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1 oz. prosciutto thinly sliced
- 7 fresh basil leaves chopped
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tablespoon Italian parsley chopped
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- 1 oz. can whole tomatoes drained (San Marzano are good)
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 12 oz Spaghetti or bucatini
Instructions
- In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- When hot, reduce the heat and add the garlic, and cook it, stirring, for about 2 minutes until it is golden brown, taking care to not let it burn.
- Add the prosciutto, basil, bay leaf and 1 tablespoon of the parsley and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Raise the heat to high, add the wine, and cook it for about 30 seconds.
- Use your hands to squeeze the tomatoes into the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break them apart as they cook.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer for 3 minutes, or until the liquid reduces by half.
- Season with salt (1½ teaspoons) and pepper (1 teaspoon).
- Meanwhile, in a large pot filled with boiling salted water, cook the pasta until is al dente, about 8 - 9 minutes. (Cooking time will vary depending on the type of pasta you use).
- Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and add about half of the sauce. Stir in the pasta until coated. Add the rest of the sauce and stir, adding some of the reserved pasta to reach the desired consistency. Serve at once, garnishing with the remaining chopped parsley.
