Treat your ingredients with care...
- Spaghetti — Cook the spaghetti until al dente to ensure a perfect texture. Avoid overcooking, as it can result in mushy noodles.
- Crushed tomatoes — Opt for high-quality canned crushed tomatoes for the best flavor. If desired, you can also use fresh tomatoes, peeled and crushed.
- Fresh basil — Add the fresh basil leaves towards the end of cooking to preserve their vibrant color and aroma.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of chili flakes or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Enhance the flavor by adding a splash of red wine to the sauce while simmering.
- For a heartier version, add cooked Italian sausage or sautéed mushrooms to the sauce.
- Freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese can be used as a substitute for Parmesan cheese.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serving advice
Serve the Spaghetti Sciuè Sciuè as a main course, accompanied by a fresh green salad and crusty bread. It pairs well with a glass of red wine to complement the flavors of the dish.
