Introduction
A collection of six classic and delicious Italian pasta recipes featuring fresh ingredients, rich sauces, and authentic preparation techniques ranging from Carbonara to fresh seafood Marinara.
Step 1
[Sicilian Spaghetti] Set water to boil for the pasta. Thinly slice the garlic, pit and half the olives, half the cherry tomatoes, and finely grate the Parmesan cheese.
Step 2
[Sicilian Spaghetti] Salt the boiling pasta water and cook the spaghetti al dente. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a pan, add sliced garlic, dried chili flakes, and cook for a minute.
Step 3
[Sicilian Spaghetti] Add the tomato paste and fry it in the oil. Deglaze the pan with white wine, then add the white anchovies, olives, capers, and a small ladle of pasta water.
Step 4
[Sicilian Spaghetti] Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for a couple of minutes until slightly softened. Drain the spaghetti, add to the pan along with roughly chopped fresh parsley, and toss well.
Step 5
[Sicilian Spaghetti] Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese into the pan, toss again, and plate up. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and extra cheese.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always reserve pasta water; it is highly starchy and essential for emulsifying and binding the sauces.
For Eggplant Pasta, ensure the eggplants are thoroughly fried until caramelized to unlock their natural sweetness.
For Carbonara, never add eggs over direct high heat to prevent scrambling; let the residual heat and steam thicken the sauce.
In the Marinara recipe, cook the seafood in stages to prevent delicate items like prawns and scallops from turning rubbery.
