Sinatra Pasta - Recipe

HOW to MAKE TOMATO SAUCE

"SPAGHETTI POMODORO"



SPAGHETTI POMODORO 
This dish focuses on a "quick" sauce that tastes of fresh Tomatoes rather than a long-simmered "Gravy." 
RECIPE "FRANK'S TOMATO SAUCE"
  • Ingredients:
  • 1 lb Spaghetti
  • 1 (28 oz) can Whole Peeled Tomatoes (preferably San Marzano), crushed by hand
  • 1/4 cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 4–6 cloves Garlic, peeled and lightly smashed
  • Handful of Fresh Basil Leaves, torn
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Pinch of red pepper flakes 
  • Instructions:
  • Infuse the Oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the smashed garlic cloves and sauté for 2–3 minutes until golden brown. Sinatra’s Rule: Remove the garlic once it's golden to leave only a subtle infusion.
  1. Start the Sauce: Carefully add the hand-crushed tomatoes and their juices to the oil. Add red pepper flakes if using. Simmer on medium-low for about 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens but remains bright red.
  2. Cook Pasta: While the sauce simmers, cook spaghetti in a large pot of heavily salted boiling water until al dente (firm to the bite).
  3. Finish & Emulsify: Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti. Add the pasta directly into the sauce skillet.
  4. Toss: Add the torn basil and a splash of the reserved pasta water. Toss vigorously over medium heat for 1 minute until the sauce coats every strand. Serve immediately. 
  5. Fettuccine à la Sinatra
  6. This is a decadent, Alfredo-style preparation that Sinatra often requested. It is defined by its simplicity—no flour or thickeners, just high-quality dairy and cheese.
  7. Prep time: 5 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Servings: 4
Ingredients:
  • 1 lb Fettuccine (fresh is best if available)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese, very finely grated
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • Fresh parsley for garnish 
  • Instructions:
  1. Boil Pasta: Cook fettuccine in salted water until just al dente.
  2. Melt & Blend: While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Be careful not to let it brown.
  3. Create the Base: Slowly whisk in the heavy cream. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened, but do not let it reach a rolling boil.
  4. Add Cheese: Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and velvety. Season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper.
  5. Combine: Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Toss gently to coat.
  6. Rest & Serve: Remove from heat and let the pasta sit, covered, for 2 minutes—this allows the noodles to absorb the sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve on warm plates.
