SIMPLE SPAGHETTI WITH TOMATO SAUCE
This basic pasta dish can be transformed by adding extras like cooked bacon, shrimp or even a few handfuls of baby spinach to the sauce. We like canned San Marzano plum tomatoes because they are slightly sweeter and less acidic than other varieties.

Steps:
- Put the spaghetti on boil, partially covered, with about 3 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- In a separate pan, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add the grape tomatoes and sautee for 2 minute Add the grated garlic and stir to coat tomatoes with them, about 20 seconds.
- Add the chopped spinach, toss with the tomatoes. Cook for about 3 min, until spinach is wilted. Add the basil and stir. Turn off heat and wait until spaghetti is done.
- When spaghetti is done, drain about 1/2 cup of cooking liquid from spaghetti into the pan with the spinach and tomatoes and start heat on low. Discard the remaining cooking liquid if any. Add the grated parmesan to the pan and bring to a boil for about 30 seconds, mixing to make sure the parmesan melts.
- Pour the contents of the pan into the spaghetti pot and stir over a medium flame until liquid is almost gone, 2-3 minutes. Done!
- Tip: The spinach tends to clump together because of the cheese. You can separate it or leave it; the spinach clumps have a nice texture of their own.
- Tip: I was surprised to discover this tastes almost as good with no cheese at all. So you can make a much healthier version. It is also tolerant to different amounts of olive oil.

Tips:
- Choose the right tomatoes. Grape tomatoes are ideal for this recipe because they are sweet and flavorful. You can also use cherry tomatoes, but they may be a bit more tart.
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Don't overcook the tomatoes. The tomatoes should be cooked until they are softened, but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
- Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The tomatoes will lose their flavor if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This spaghetti with grape tomato herb sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual lunch. The sauce is light and flavorful, and the tomatoes add a pop of sweetness. Serve this dish with a side of crusty bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
