Magic Pasta Recipes

MAGIC THREE-INGREDIENT PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• Add the tomatoes, butter, and onion to a heavy medium-sized saucepan. Bring sauce to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, keeping it at a steady simmer.
• Simmer for about 45 minutes until the butter droplets float free from the tomatoes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, gently smashing the tomato on the side of the pan as you stir.
• Remove the onion and discard.
• If desired, season to taste with salt.
• Serve with your favorite pasta.

KALE, TOMATO, AND LEMON MAGIC ONE-POT SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Fill and boil a kettle of water and get all your ingredients and equipment together. You need a large, shallow pan with a lid.
• Put the pasta into the pan. Quickly chop the tomatoes in half and throw them into the pan. Grate in the zest of both lemons and add the oil and salt. Add about 1 quart/1 liter of boiling water, put a lid on the pan, and bring back to a boil. Remove the lid and simmer on high heat for 6 minutes, using a pair of tongs to turn the pasta every 30 seconds or so as it cooks.
• Meanwhile, remove any tough stalks from the kale or spinach and coarsely tear the leaves. Once the pasta has had 6 minutes, add the kale and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes.
• Once almost all the water has evaporated, take the pan off the heat and tangle the pasta into four bowls. If you like, top with a little Parmesan.
