Ingredients

  • 300 g dried spaghetti
  • 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 cloves of fresh garlic
  • 1 tin of tomatoes
  • 2 red chillis
  • 8-10 leaves of fresh basil
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • salt to taste be generous
  • 1 and a half burrata

Instructions

  • Begin by doing your prep: peeling and slicing your garlic, roughly chopping the basil leaves and red chilli. Now its time to cook!
  • In a pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil on a medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Once hot, add in the sliced garlic and fry until lightly golden.
  • Once golden, add in 1 tin of tomatoes, then fill the can up with water to wash out the remaining tomatoes and add that in too. I like my pasta saucy, so I usually add another half can of water. So in total 1.5 cans worth of water which is about 600ml of water. Add in ¾ of the basil, all the chilli, salt to taste (be generous!) and black pepper. Stir well and cook on medium-low for 15 minutes, stirring every so often.
  • At this point you can put the spaghetti on, cook according to packet instructions.
  • Add the spaghetti from the pot directly into the sauce, don't drain it as we want some of that pasta water! Toss with sauce and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
  • Now it's time to plate up! Garnish each plate with half a burrata, drizzle with olive oil, remaining basil and some freshly cracked black pepper.
