Instructions

  • Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup (60 mL) pasta cooking water; drain spaghetti.
  • Meanwhile, in large skillet set over medium heat, heat 2 tbsp (30 mL) oil. Cook cherry tomatoes, stirring occasionally, until charred and blistered, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add onion, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes or until onions are starting to soften. Stir in sangria; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes or until slightly reduced.
  • Stir in tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  • Stir in half the basil. Toss in spaghetti and reserved pasta cooking water until sauce clings to pasta well. Drizzle with remaining oil.
  • Finish with remaining basil and a beautiful sprinkling of Parmesan.
