Quantities are not specified in the subtitles. Adjust ingredients and seasoning to taste.

Ingredients

• Dry pasta
• Salt (for pasta water and sauce, to taste)
• Oil (for cooking tomatoes and for the sauce)
• Fresh tomatoes (cook until fully softened/melted)
• Garlic (used when cooking tomatoes and chopped for the sauce)
• Water (added to tomatoes before grinding)
• Red chilli powder (to taste)
• Fresh or dried basil
• Butter (for the sauce)
• Oregano (dried)
• Red chilli flakes
• Tomato puree (from cooked tomatoes + water, or store-bought)
• Tomato ketchup (to taste)
• Cream (to taste)
• Parmesan cheese (for finishing, to taste)

Equipment & prep

• Large pot for boiling pasta (salt the water).
• Pan/skillet for cooking tomatoes and for the sauce.
• Blender/food processor or grinder (to puree the cooked tomatoes).
• Spoon/tongs for tossing pasta.
• Reserve some pasta cooking water before draining.

Method — step-by-step

1. Boil pasta in well-salted water until cooked to desired doneness. Reserve some pasta cooking water, then drain.
2. In a pan with oil, add tomatoes, garlic and some salt. Cook until the tomatoes have completely melted/softened.
3. Add water, red chilli powder and basil to the cooked tomatoes. When the mixture is fully softened/melted, grind/blend it into a smooth tomato puree.
4. In a clean pan, heat butter and oil. Add chopped garlic, oregano and chilli flakes; sauté until aromatic.
5. Add the tomato puree to the pan with the sautéed aromatics.
6. Add tomato ketchup, salt and cream to the sauce — adjust quantities to taste and stir to combine.
7. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce. If needed, loosen/thin the sauce with reserved pasta water until it coats the pasta well.
8. Finish by adding/grating Parmesan cheese and tossing until combined.
