TOMATO-BUTTER PASTA
When you have ripe, perfect tomatoes that you want to enjoy without much fuss, this is the pasta to make. (If your tomatoes are tasteless, your pasta will be too, so don't try this with the off-season grocery store variety.) It's inspired by pan con tomate, in which grated tomato and its juices are spooned onto garlic toasts. Here, with vigorous stirring, grated tomato and cold butter form a glossy, light, pretty-in-pink sauce that tastes of sweet, just-cooked tomato. The red-pepper flakes, garlic, basil and Parmesan bring out the flavor of the tomato, and while there are plenty of other ways to embellish further, you don't need to: This is lazy, easy summer cooking at its best. (P.S. Leftovers make a great room-temperature pasta salad.) To get vegetarian recipes like this one delivered to your inbox, sign up for The Veggie newsletter.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- Meanwhile, using the large holes of a box grater, grate the cut ends of the tomato into a large bowl. Discard or compost skins. Grate the butter into the bowl as well. Using the small holes of the box grater, grate the garlic into the bowl. Add the red-pepper flakes, and season generously with salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Return the drained pasta to the pot, along with the bowl of grated tomato and butter. Set over medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and glosses the pasta, 2 to 3 minutes (the sauce will thicken as it sits). Add pasta water as needed to emulsify the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with more red-pepper flakes, black pepper, basil and Parmesan as desired.
Tips:
- Selecting the Right Spaghetti: Opt for high-quality spaghetti made from durum wheat semolina for the best texture and flavor.
- Cooking the Spaghetti Perfectly: Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions, ensuring it reaches "al dente" (slightly firm to the bite) for optimal results.
- Preparing the Sauce: Use fresh, ripe tomatoes and high-quality olive oil to create a flavorful and authentic tomato sauce.
- Adding Meat and Vegetables: Incorporate lean ground beef or turkey, along with a variety of vegetables, to enhance the nutritional value and flavor of the Spaghetti Collins.
- Seasoning and Herbs: Don't forget to season the dish with salt, pepper, and a blend of Italian herbs such as basil, oregano, and thyme for a classic Italian taste.
- Serving and Presentation: Serve the Spaghetti Collins hot, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a visually appealing and delicious meal.
