Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Kosher salt
1 pound thin spaghetti
2 pounds beefsteak tomatoes (about 3 medium)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus more for serving
8 ounces Brie, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions.

  • Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Add the pasta to the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Add the pasta water, a little at a time, to moisten the pasta and help the Brie partially melt, if needed.

RAW TOMATO SAUCE



Raw Tomato Sauce image

The best tomato sauce is raw tomato sauce. Use the juiciest, sweetest summer tomatoes you can find for this light, fresh sauce, and toss it with 1/2 lb. of well-drained hot spaghetti and lots of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Or use it to spoon onto Pizza Dough; over poached, fried, or scrambled eggs; or on grilled fish, chicken, or zucchini.

Categories     lunch, weekday, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 1 1/2 cups of sauce

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large, ripe tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
Juice of 1 lemon
1 large clove garlic, minced
Chopped fresh basil leaves (about 1/2 cup)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup high-quality olive oil
Sprigs of basil for garnishing
Grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Boil several quarts of water in a deep pot. Score the tomatoes top and bottom with an ''x,'' just breaking the skin, and add the tomatoes to the water. Let the water return to the boil and continue boiling 30 seconds. Remove the tomatoes, run them under cold water and peel off the skins.
  • Slice the tomatoes in half crosswise, place a sieve over a bowl and, holding each half over the sieve, push the seeds and juice out and into the sieve. Press out the juice and save for another use.
  • Lightly sprinkle the cut surfaces of the tomatoes with salt and let them stand 10 minutes. Gently squeeze them to get rid of any additional juice and coarsely chop the tomatoes.
  • Put the tomatoes into a bowl and add lemon juice, garlic, basil, salt and pepper, adjusting seasonings to taste.
  • Serve over hot, very thin pasta (capellini, for example), garnishing each serving with a sprig of basil and grated Parmesan.

QUICK FRESH TOMATO SAUCE



Quick Fresh Tomato Sauce image

In August and September, when tomatoes are at their ripest, make a batch of fresh tomato sauce. At the market, look for the cracked, slightly bruised tomatoes sold at a discount. The flesh of the tomato should be dense, sweet and blood red. This makes a very fresh- and bright-tasting sauce in a manageable small batch. Take advantage of good tasty tomatoes and fill a few zip-top bags for the freezer.

3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon tomato paste
