Spaghetti with Olive Oil & Garlic

When you're in need of a tasty recipe for a 10-Minute Spaghetti with Olive Oil and Garlic that the whole family will love, look no further.

 

1. Raw tomatoes

 

Seasonal tomatoes can be used in various ways without wasting time cooking them. Two of these ways are as follows: you can grate them to get the juicy pulp heated by the hot pasta enough to release the citrus notes, or you can make baby tomatoes by cutting them in half to get the sweetness and fresh bite.

 

2. Whole wheat pasta

 

These thin strings of noodles drink up the thick tomato paste and transform your meal from bland pasta to a scrumptious, light, finger-licking, and sophisticated heaven on a fork. Whole wheat pasta is most preferred for its relatively high nutritional value compared to white pasta. It is recommended for individuals who are on a diet or those who are checking their weight.

 

The domestic version of the San Marzano tomato is most preferred for plum tomatoes. Always buy them from health food stores. It is loved for its heaviness and juicy pulp, which makes it naturally sweet all the time. The pasta should always be checked since it continues to cook even after the cooking time is done. So keep checking to ensure it does not overcook.
