Spaghetti with Tomato, Basil, and Garlic 🍝
Years ago, I noted down this recipe from an Italian cooking show. The result was spectacular. I loved it for its simplicity and how with very few ingredients, you can create something so delicious and flavorful. They say sometimes less is more, and in this case, it's true 😋 One of my favorite dishes!
The original recipe uses cherry tomatoes, but I've often made it with Roma tomatoes or whatever I had at home.

- 1
Boil plenty of water in a pot.
- 2
Meanwhile, heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a pan.
- 3
Once hot, add the unpeeled garlic cloves. I usually make a small cut in them first to release more aroma.
- 4
Add the three whole cayenne peppers and stir. I usually tilt the pan so the oil covers them well, but be careful not to burn them.
- 5
Add the tomatoes to your liking (chopped very small, grated, or canned). Add a bit of salt and a pinch of sugar if using fresh tomatoes. Remove the garlic and cayenne to prevent burning. Sometimes I add a little cayenne powder (not too much as it can be very spicy). Stir well and let it cook on medium heat for a couple of minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- 6
When the water starts to boil, add salt to your liking (I usually add one and a half teaspoons) and add the spaghetti (I used whole wheat). Let them cook until al dente. Turn off the heat and drain the spaghetti.
- 7
Once drained, add the spaghetti to the sauce and add the handful of fresh basil. Stir well to soak up all the flavors and serve.

And it's ready!
