Treat your ingredients with care...
- Tomatoes — Use ripe and juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. If fresh tomatoes are not available, you can substitute with canned diced tomatoes.
- Basil — Tear the basil leaves just before adding them to the sauce to preserve their freshness and aroma.
- Parmesan cheese — For a vegan or dairy-free option, you can substitute with nutritional yeast or a vegan Parmesan alternative.
Tips & Tricks
- To enhance the flavor of the sauce, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
- For a creamier texture, you can stir in a tablespoon of butter or cream at the end.
- Experiment with different types of pasta shapes to add variety to the dish.
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds an extra layer of flavor, so try to use it instead of pre-packaged grated cheese.
- If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can blend the cooked tomatoes before adding them to the pasta.
Serving advice
Serve the Tuoni e Lampo Pasta as a main course, accompanied by a fresh green salad and crusty Italian bread. It pairs well with a glass of red wine, such as Chianti or Sangiovese.
Presentation advice
Garnish the pasta with a sprig of fresh basil and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to add a touch of elegance. Serve it in a shallow pasta bowl to showcase the vibrant colors of the dish.
