Method
- Place a large high rimmed pan over medium-high heat and whilst still cold add in the olive oil and garlic. Saute for 45 seconds or until it starts to heavily sizzle.
- Add in the tomatoes, sugar, chipotle in adobo and seasoning to taste. Mix to combine and saute for 5 minutes or until the tomatoes start to break down.
- Add in the vegetable stock, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix through the basil.
- 15 minutes before the sauce is ready, place a saucepan of water over high heat and bring it to a boil. Generously season with salt and cook the spaghetti or pasta of choice 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 come and cook for 1 final minute. Check and adjust seasoning levels and remove from the heat.
- Serve in bowls, grate over Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and garnish with fresh basil and cracked black pepper. Dig in.
