Method

6 steps 5 min prep · 30 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Mix the hot Water, Tomato Sauce, and Salt in a heatproof pitcher until combined.

Cook

Step 2. Heat Olive Oil in a wide, deep skillet over medium heat. Add Garlic and Red Pepper Flakes and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3. Stir in Tomato Paste and cook until it darkens slightly, about 1 minute. Add Spaghetti, spreading it flat; turn it in the oil until lightly toasted in spots, about 2 minutes.
Step 4. Pour in enough tomato broth to cover the pasta and simmer over medium-high heat. Leave undisturbed until the liquid reduces and the underside starts to brown, about 8 minutes.
Step 5. Turn the pasta and add more broth a little at a time. Let it reduce between additions, leaving the pasta undisturbed to char in spots, until tender with a firm bite, about 15 minutes. Add hot water if needed.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Divide the spaghetti among plates, scraping up the crisp bits, and scatter Parmesan over each serving.

Tips

Good to know

A wide skillet that fits the spaghetti flat gives it more contact with the pan for crisp edges.

Swap it

Use a vegetarian hard cheese in place of Parmesan if you need a vegetarian dinner.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet with a splash of water.
