Chewy and uniquely grain-free, this spaghetti pairs perfectly with a fresh tomato sauce using the classic French technique of skinning, seeding, and dicing the tomatoes. Keeping the sauce light and the ingredients minimal is the best way to showcase this light, tasty noodle.

Directions

Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil and add the whole tomatoes. Remove after 1-2 minutes, when the skins begin to slide off, saving the water. Transfer the tomatoes to a bowl of ice water. When cool, peel the skins off the tomatoes and cut in half. Discard the seeds and chop the tomatoes into small dice.

Place a medium skillet over low heat and add the oil. Add the garlic, herbs, and chile flakes, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the garlic is translucent. Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and turn the heat up to medium-high. Cook until most of the liquid has cooked out. Add the broth and cook until the sauce is thickened, then stir in the butter. Use the pot of water, boiling, to cook the spaghetti. Gently stir to separate the noodles. Cook on high for 5 minutes, then remove the pasta to the pan of tomato sauce. Stir and/or toss to coat and serve. Garnish with parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
