Spaghetti with diced tomato and basil sauce - 11/6/08
It is finally Thursday, my last day of cooking during week day (I rarely cook on Friday). So Tonight for dinner it will a really simple dinner without any compromise on the taste. I am making a Spaghetti with dice tomato and basil sauce. It is actually a very healthy dish and the vibrant color of the tomato and basil sauce is definitely very appetizing.
This dish is so easy and so fast to prepare. It requires only 4 ingredients (tomato, shallot, basil and white wine) and it can be ready in less than 20 minutes.

I usually add some grated Parmesan, a little dash of pepper flake on top of the sauce.
Are the colors simply gorgeous? The canned tomatoes are usually very tasty and the basil added a freshness to the dish.
Preparation work..
|
Thinly sliced shallots are added to a lightly oil skillet |
I am cooking the shallots until they turned brown |
|
White wine is added into the skillet and brought up to a boil until the wine is completely evaporated. |
Diced tomatoes are added in the skillet. I usually use only canned tomatoes but this time I added fresh tomatoes because I just happen to have so many in the fridge and wanted to used them all. |
|
The sauce is then brought to a simmer and basil is added. |
My pot of spaghetti with garlic and butter is ready to be served. |

Spooning the spaghetti into a large bow.. |
Here I am adding the tomato and basil sauce to the Spaghetti and we are ready to eat. |
