Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 to 6 quarts water
2 to 3 tablespoons salt plus fine sea salt
14 to 16 ounces spaghetti
2 garlic cloves
1 small hot red pepper or chili pepper flakes to taste
3 tablespoons extra virgin oil
1 pound cherry tomatoes
3 to 4 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Bring 5 to 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons salt and the spaghetti and cook until it still offers considerable resistance to the tooth, about three quarters of the cooking time.
  • While the pasta is cooking, saute the garlic cloves and hot pepper in the oil over moderate heat in a large nonstick skillet. When the garlic barely begins to color add the cherry tomatoes and season lightly with the sea salt. Cook over high heat until the tomatoes lose their shape.
  • Drain the spaghetti and add it to the skillet along with 1 cup of pasta cooking water. Cook over high heat, stirring frequently, to amalgamate the tomatoes and pasta and to complete cooking. Add more pasta water if the sauce gets too dry.
  • Sprinkle with chopped basil before serving.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups (about 6 ounces) ditalini pasta (thimble-shaped pasta) or other small tube-shaped pastas such as elbow macaroni or pennette
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
5 plum tomatoes (about 1 pound), chopped
8 ounces cold fresh mozzarella, drained, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
8 large fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring often to prevent the pasta from sticking together, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a heavy large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and saute just until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked pasta. Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the cheese and basil, and toss to coat. Season the pasta, to taste, with salt. Spoon the pasta into small serving bowls and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Spaghetti sciu sciu is a simple and quick pasta dish from Sicily that is typically made with fresh tomatoes, garlic, and basil. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. For example, you can add other vegetables, such as zucchini, eggplant, or bell peppers. You can also add meat, such as sausage or ground beef.
  • To make the best spaghetti sciu sciu, use fresh, ripe tomatoes. If you do not have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes. However, fresh tomatoes will give the dish a much better flavor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is an important ingredient in this dish, so it is important to use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice.
  • Do not overcook the pasta. Spaghetti sciu sciu is a quick dish, so it is important not to overcook the pasta. The pasta should be cooked al dente, which means it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Serve the spaghetti sciu sciu immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce if it sits for too long, which will make it mushy.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti sciu sciu is an easy-to-make, flavorful pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying meal that your family and friends will love.
