Ingredients for Midnight Spaghetti
- 12.3 oz spaghetti
- 1 red onion (medium-small)
- 12.3 oz tomato puree
- 2.5 oz caciocavallo cheese
- A few leaves basil
- 1 pinch baking soda
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
Tools
- 1 Pan
- 1 Pot
- 1 Grater large holes
Preparation of Midnight Spaghetti
Peel the onion and slice it into strips.
In a large pan, heat a few tablespoons of oil before adding the onion.
Let it sizzle for a moment then add the tomato pulp, a generous pinch of salt, a pinch of baking soda (to eliminate the acidity of the tomato) and a few basil leaves torn by hand.
Continue cooking for 15 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
In the meantime, shred the caciocavallo cheese into thin strips using a grater with large holes.
Cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted water, drain them al dente and transfer them to the pan with the sauce. Stir first, then add the caciocavallo cheese.
Mix in the cheese, then distribute the midnight spaghetti onto individual plates and serve immediately, piping hot. Enjoy! Paola
