Margherita's Recipe

Spaghetti with little tomatoes and basil
First

Ingredients for 2 people

500 gr.  pachino tomatoes
250 gr. Spaghetti, 9 mins cooking
50 gr. grated Reggiano parmesan cheese
5 spoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
1 little bunch of fresh basil
1 dried red hot pepper
1 handful of coarse salt
2 pinches of white salt
1 pinch of sugar

Put abundant water in a high pot and salt it with a handful of coarse salt; when the water boils put the spaghetti inside. Fry in a large pan the garlic cut in very small pieces and the red hot pepper. As soon as the garlic browns drop in the pan the pachino tomatoes cut in two parts each, keeping the flame high; add the sugar and 2 pinches of salt together with the fresh basil (keeping the leaves entire). Cook the tomatoes for a few minutes until the peel come off and then switch the flame off. As soon as the spaghetti has been drained, re-light the flame under the pan and put the spaghetti inside mixing it with the basil and parmesan cheese. Mix all very fast and then serve the dish!

Curiosity
This recipe is very easy but it absolutely needs very fresh ingredients and a great easy manner among the stoves; spaghetti cooking time (10 minutes) should be enough to prepare the sauce and the dish must be served when the spaghetti is still very hot.
In order to make the easy manner become like a dance for a particular dinner, you need to practice the recipe a lot beforehand so at the last moment it becomes like the most natural thing for you.
The amount of pasta advised in this recipe is abundant for two people and the reason is that this recipe can represent the unique and aromatic dish of a romantic dinner.  Just choose a good white wine, very cold (a dry one or a prosecco, as you prefer) ? basil will do the rest!
