Spaghetti al Pomodoro 蕃茄羅勒意粉
Very classic Italian pasta dish, Spaghetti al Pomodoro. Pomodoro means tomato, usually use cherry tomatoes to cook with spaghetti and basil. This is super easy to make, simple, healthy, delicious! Buonissimo!
This is one of the most common and popular pasta dish in Italy. I always see my friends cook it, the color looks like Italian flag, maybe this is also the reason too. The first time I learnt to cook this, my friends took me to his little garden, with a tiny basket. We just pick those gorgeous cherry tomatoes, fresh and juicy. And went to the herbs area and pick the fresh basil.
I am a city girl, all the food I bought is from supermarket, it is hard to imagine you can just pick something in your garden and cook it. This is the greatest part of Italian cuisine, no fuss, just the simple , great ingredients, simple seasoning and you will have the best food ever. This is my all time favourite, cook like Italian and eat like Italian.
So the simplier the dish is, the better ingredients you need. You need the freshness and taste of those ingredients with salt and pepper seasoning. Cook the pasta al dente, follow the package suggested time and cook one minute less. Keep the pasta water and put in your sauce. Toss well and serve immediately.
這個經典的意粉- 蕃茄羅勒意粉， 就是跟名字一樣簡單。意大利人對食材非常重視，愈是簡單的菜式，愈需要新鮮的材料。只用鹽及黑胡椒調味，但你能吃到由蕃茄，羅勒，蒜頭帶出的香味。這就是意大利菜的精粹所在，最新鮮的食材，簡單的煮法，你便能有最美味的菜式！
這個只需15分鐘的意粉，超簡單易做，意大利人也經常會吃。在香港的餐廳看到，價錢並不便宜，但自己煮的，會比那個更美味！
Cut the cherry tomato in half, minced the garlic. Bring a pot of salted water to boil, cook the spaghetti and drain well. Add olive oil and garlic in a pan, cook at low heat for 3 minutes to let the garlic flavour come out.
