Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion
2 garlic cloves
28-ounce can tomato puree (we used San Marzano variety)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, at room temperature*
Crushed red pepper
1 pound bucatini pasta
Torn fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic. In a large saucepan, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Toss in the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the tomato puree and season generously with salt and pepper. Bring to a bubble, then reduce the heat and maintain a low simmer so that the flavors can fully develop, 30 to 40 minutes, giving a stir when you think of it. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the yogurt. Whisk in 1/2 cup of the warm sauce to temper the yogurt. Scrape the yogurt mixture back into the saucepan whisking to incorporate fully. Taste, adding more salt and pepper, and the crushed red pepper.
Boil the pasta in plenty of salted water according to the package instructions. At the end of cooking, set aside 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, slowly transfer the hot pasta to the tomato sauce, tossing to coat. Drizzle in a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water, or more if desired, to loosen. Serve hot, garnished with the basil.

CLASSIC MARINARA SAUCE

Classic Marinara Sauce image

Homemade marinara is almost as fast and tastes immeasurably better than even the best supermarket sauce - and it's made with basic pantry ingredients. All the tricks to a bright red, lively-tasting sauce, made just as it is in the south of Italy (no butter, no onions) are in this recipe. Use a skillet instead of the usual saucepan: the water evaporates quickly, so the tomatoes are just cooked through as the sauce becomes thick. (Our colleagues over at Wirecutter have spent a lot of time testing skillets to find the best on the market. If you're looking to purchase one, check out their skillet guide.)

Time 25m

Yield 3 1/2 cups, enough for 1 pound of pasta

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 28-ounce can whole San Marzano tomatoes, certified D.O.P. if possible
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
7 garlic cloves, peeled and slivered
Small dried whole chile, or pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large fresh basil sprig, or 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, more to taste

Steps:

Pour tomatoes into a large bowl and crush with your hands. Pour 1 cup water into can and slosh it around to get tomato juices. Reserve.
In a large skillet (do not use a deep pot) over medium heat, heat the oil. When it is hot, add garlic.
As soon as garlic is sizzling (do not let it brown), add the tomatoes, then the reserved tomato water. Add whole chile or red pepper flakes, oregano (if using) and salt. Stir.
Place basil sprig, including stem, on the surface (like a flower). Let it wilt, then submerge in sauce. Simmer sauce until thickened and oil on surface is a deep orange, about 15 minutes. (If using oregano, taste sauce after 10 minutes of simmering, adding more salt and oregano as needed.) Discard basil and chile (if using).

Categories Garlic Mushroom Pasta Tomato Quick & Easy Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, sliced
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, chopped, juices reserved
1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil, crumbled
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 9- to 10-ounce package purchased tortellini, freshly cooked
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; sauté until tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add mushrooms and crushed red pepper; sauté until mushrooms just begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and reserved juices. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add tomato sauce, sugar, basil and oregano. Cover and cook 15 minutes. Uncover and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Add tortellini and 2 tablespoons parsley to sauce. Transfer to large bowl. Garnish with remaining parsley. Serve, passing Parmesan separately.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pasta will taste. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the sauce, and high-quality pasta and cheese.
Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or "to the tooth." This means that it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta is mushy and unpleasant.
Make sure the sauce is well-seasoned: The sauce is the key to a great pasta dish. Make sure it is well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. A little bit of red pepper flakes can also add a nice kick.
Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to pasta dishes. Feel free to experiment with different sauces, cheeses, and toppings. You might just find your new favorite recipe.
