Method

  1. Bring 4 L of water to the boil. Score the tomatoes, blanch them, peel and dice.

  2. Fry the sliced garlic in olive oil for 1 minute, add the tomatoes, salt and simmer for 10 minutes.

  3. Salt the boiling water and cook the Buona spaghetti for 9–10 minutes. Save a cup of the cooking water.

  4. Add the spaghetti to the sauce with a splash of cooking water and torn basil. Toss over the heat for 1 minute.

  5. Serve with grated cheese and fresh black pepper.

Chef’s tip

Add the basil right at the end so it keeps its aroma.
