Instructions
- Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a wide pot big enough to hold the spaghetti, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Add 270 grams spaghetti, submerge, and set a timer for 1 minute less than the package directions.
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large frying pan over medium-high heat, and add 12 grams garlic and half of 20 grams basil. Saute until the garlic is fragrant and the basil is vibrant green.
- Add 450 grams tomatoes and any collected juices along with ½ teaspoon salt and cook the mixture at a full boil until the chunks of tomato start to break down into a sauce.
- Turn down the heat and let the sauce simmer while you wait for the pasta to finish cooking.
- When the pasta is done, transfer it straight to the pan with the sauce with tongs, and add a few ladles of the pasta water.
- Finish cooking the pasta in the sauce, adding more water as needed until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Finish the pasta pomodoro by adding in the remaining basil and tossing to incorporate.
