The perfect recipe for a classic spaghetti al pomodoro
So many of you have asked me over the years “what's your favourite pasta”? And it might be surprising to you but really it’s the one and only Spaghetti al pomodoro! 🍅🍝 Obviously the quality of the ingredients here have to be at their best to get an incredible result. You need to buy the best quality extra virgin olive oil you can find. If you don’t buy the right pasta, you cannot make a good dish, so you need to buy the best bronze drawn dry pasta too. And for the tomatoes, this is of course a summer dish and they are still in season so let's make the most of them! I have used a mixed of cherry tomatoes and baby plum here. If you want to know more about how to choose the best dry pasta and extra virgin olive oil head to the Our Cooking Journey food blog (link in bio) and you can find 2 articles there that I wrote a few years Recipe for 2: 200g spaghetti 300g mixed cherry and baby plum tomatoes Olive oil Salt Fresh basil 3 garlic cloves Grana Padano/Parmigiano Reggiano #spaghetti #spaghettialpomodoro #pastarecipe #comfortfood #lastmeal #bestpasta #pasta #recipeshare #italianfood #cheflife #ciboitaliano #granapadano #parmigianoreggiano #cheese
