Preparation:

This simple recipe is perfect for anyone looking for a quick and tasty dinner, but above all for those returning from vacation and wanting a dish that recalls the flavors of home cooking.

To start, take some fresh tomatoes and cut them into small pieces. This first step is important for preparing the sauce that will give flavor to your pasta.

Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large pan and then add the finely chopped onion and garlic. Be careful not to let them burn.

When the onion and garlic have turned lightly golden, add the already well-chopped tomatoes and the salt. Mix well and leave to simmer for about 10 minutes. Remember to stir occasionally and cook the sauce so that the tomatoes remain slightly raw. Towards the end of cooking, add a few leaves of basil to give even more flavor to your sauce.

In the meantime, cook the spaghetti in abundant salted water until they become al dente.

Drain them well and then pour them into the pan with the sauce, mixing well so that they are flavored with the sauce.

Serve the pasta hot in a serving dish and, if you wish, add some grated Parmesan to complete the preparation. You just have to taste the authentic flavor of your pasta with tomato and basil.

To enhance the gastronomic experience of Spaghetti with fresh tomato sauce, it is advisable to choose an intense and decisive red wine, such as a Chianti from Tuscany or a Mandrolisai from Sardinia. These wines evoke scented hints of red and forest fruits, which marry happily with the taste of Spaghetti with fresh tomato sauce.
