How To Make Fettuccine With Tomato Sauce?

Preparation Times: 15 minutes

Cooking Times: 30 minutes

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: Italian

Yield: Serves 4

Equipment Needed

• Large pot
• Large skillet
• Wooden spoon

Ingredients

• 400g fettuccine pasta
• 1.5kg ripe tomatoes
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

Step-1. Prepare the Tomatoes

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut the bottom of each tomato into an “X” shape for easier peeling. Blanch the tomatoes in water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath. Peel and chop the tomatoes, removing seeds if desired.

Step-2. Cook the Pasta

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step-3. Make the Sauce

In a large skillet, heat the extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet—season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and sugar. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break into a thick sauce.

Step-4. Combine and Serve

Stir in the unsalted butter to the tomato sauce for a rich finish. Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

Mix the fresh basil leaves and parsley, allowing the herbs to wilt slightly from the sauce’s heat. If necessary, adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper.
