Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Tomato-Basil Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, and sugar. Process until smooth. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Chill the Sauce: Cover the sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)

03

Step

Cook the Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions, or until al dente. (8-10 minutes)

04

Step

Drain and Combine: Drain the spaghetti thoroughly and transfer it to a large bowl.

05

Step

Toss and Serve: Pour the chilled tomato-basil sauce over the spaghetti. Toss gently to coat. Serve immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use high-quality canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well.
Feel free to add other fresh vegetables to the sauce, such as cucumber or bell peppers.
This dish is best served immediately after tossing the spaghetti with the sauce. However, you can prepare the sauce in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
