Pasta a la Putanesca
Description
I love the smell of tomatoes, roasted garlic and basil... In combination with spaghetti, it's insanely delicious, satisfying and summer-like, and besides, it's incredibly easy and quick to prepare.
Cooking
Step 1
Put 2 unpeeled heads of garlic in 2 pieces of foil separately, pour 1 tsp into them. olive oil, wrap well and bake in a preheated 180 g oven for 30 minutes. I recommend checking after 20 so that it doesn’t burn, as you can see in my photo ((
Step 2
After the foil has cooled to a comfortable temperature, without peeling, squeeze the garlic directly from the shell into a container and mash into a paste. Wash the tomatoes, cut to the very bottom crosswise and dip in a deep container with boiling water for 10 seconds, up to 20 seconds, then peel - the skin can be easily removed. Cut olives into thin slices. Place spaghetti water over high heat, season with salt to taste, and bring to a boil.
Step 3
Pour 2 tbsp into a frying pan or saucepan. l. olive oil, heat up. Cut the onion into cubes, lightly fry, add thyme, freshly ground black pepper, peeled tomatoes, mash them and, if necessary, add a little water, simmer for 10 minutes over medium heat.
Step 4
Add olives, leaving 2 tbsp. l. to decorate the dish, simmer for 5 minutes. Spaghetti (in this case, I took thin spaghetti - a little thicker than capellini) dip into boiling water at the rate of 200 g per serving and boil until al dente (2 minutes less than indicated on the package)
Step 5
Drain the water from the cooked spaghetti, making sure to leave one cup of cooking liquid! Dip the spaghetti into the hot sauce, turn off the heat, add a little water from the cup, stir - the sauce should become thick. Add more pasta water if needed. Serve in warmed bowls topped with chopped olives, roasted garlic paste and chopped basil.

Lasagna with chicken and cream sauce
Adding milk and wine to the sauce instead of traditional cream gives an interesting twist.

This soup can be cooked on real chicken broth - it will turn out even tastier.
