This classic Italian Spaghetti dish is confirmation that the simple things in life are often the best (and even better if you know a few tricks!). In this recipe, I shave the garlic into very thin discs using a mandolin slicer, mashes up the best-quality Italian tinned tomatoes with his hands, and tears the basil, adding it last so it stays fresh and green.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Grated pecorino
Salt
Pepper
1/4 cup Basil leaves
400 g Tomatoes
1 Garlic clove
5 tbsp. Olive oil
350 g Gluten-free spaghetti

Method

01

Cook pasta as per packet directions, retaining 1/2 cup of pasta water.
02

In a pan on medium heat, add oil and garlic. Cook for 2 mins or until garlic is just colouring.
03

Remove garlic.
04

Add tomatoes to the pan and crush with a wooden spoon.
05

Add half a cup of pasta water to the pan and cook for 3 to 4 mins, stirring constantly on a medium heat.
06

Stir through basil and turn off heat, before seasoning with salt & pepper.
07

Add drained pasta and half the pecorino to the sauce and stir.
08

Serve with remaining pecorino sprinkled over the top.
