Smoky Tomato Pasta
Ingredients
- 30 ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3 Garlic Cloves Sliced
- 1 kg Tomatoes Diced
- 4 g Sugar Optional
- 10 g Chipotle in Adobo Chopped
- 250 ml Vegetable Stock
- 15 g Fresh Basil Torn
- 500 g Spaghetti
- Salt & Pepper To Taste
- Parmigiano Reggiano Grated
- Fresh Basil To Serve
- Cracked Black Pepper To Serve
Method
- Place a large high-rimmed pan over medium-high heat and, while it's still cold, add the olive oil and garlic. Sauté for 45 seconds, or until it starts to heavily sizzle.
- Add the tomatoes, sugar, chipotle in adobo, and seasoning to taste. Mix to combine and sauté for 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes start to break down.
- Add the vegetable stock, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once done, mix through the basil.
- 15 minutes before the sauce is ready, place a saucepan of water over high heat and bring to a boil. Generously season with salt and cook the pasta for 1 minute less than the packet instructions.
- Add the pasta straight from the water into the sauce, bringing along some of the pasta water. Mix well to combine and cook for 1 final minute. Check and adjust the seasoning and remove from the heat.
- Serve in bowls, grate over Parmigiano Reggiano, and garnish with fresh basil and cracked black pepper. Dig in.

Recipe Notes
Smoky Tomato Pasta Storage Instructions
To store, place the pasta into the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 4 months, both held in an airtight container. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Smoky Tomato Pasta Reheating Instructions
As for reheating, the best and most efficient way is to use a microwave, reheating in bursts and mixing between each one. It can also be tossed into a pan over medium heat, but you’ll need to add more diced or crushed tomato to refresh it.
