Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Lunch

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 small green bell pepper
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fennel seed, if desired
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (for cooking spaghetti), if desired
8 oz uncooked spaghetti

Steps:

  • Peel and chop the onion to measure 1/2 cup. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Cut the bell pepper in half lengthwise, and cut out seeds and membrane. Chop enough bell pepper to measure 1/4 cup. Wrap any remaining bell pepper with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and bell pepper. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the tomatoes with their liquid, tomato sauce, basil, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, the fennel seed and pepper. Heat to boiling over high heat. Once mixture is boiling, reduce heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently and does not spatter.
  • Cover with lid; cook 35 minutes, stirring about every 10 minutes to make sure mixture is just bubbling gently and to prevent sticking. Lower the heat if the sauce is bubbling too fast.
  • After the sauce has been cooking about 20 minutes, fill a 4-quart Dutch oven about half full of water. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt if desired. Cover with lid; heat over high heat until the water is boiling rapidly. Add the spaghetti. Heat to boiling again. Boil uncovered 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender but not mushy.
  • Place a strainer or colander in the sink. Pour the spaghetti in the strainer to drain. Serve with the tomato sauce.

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.)

Categories     quick, condiments, dips and spreads, sauces and gravies

Time 25m

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

Number Of Ingredients 6

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).

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 small red onion, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
3 green onions, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground thyme
2 pounds mussels, cleaned and debearded
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 lemon - cut into wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the linguine, and return to a boil.

Stir onion mixture into the tomatoes, then add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, and thyme. Simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in mussels and shrimp, then pour in the wine and lemon juice.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, ripe tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and high-quality pasta will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the pasta, be sure not to overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the ideal texture of cooked pasta, which should be slightly firm to the bite.
  • Save some pasta water: Before draining the pasta, reserve some of the pasta water. This starchy water can be used to thicken the marinara sauce.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time: Marinara sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti with marinara sauce is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give spaghetti with marinara sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
