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.
