Ingredients for Homemade Spaghetti

  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 3 oz sun-dried tomatoes in oil
  • 2 1/2 oz blanched almonds
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 7 oz green beans
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt
  • black pepper

Tools

  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Skillet
  • 1 Pot
  • 1 Colander

Preparation of Homemade Spaghetti

  • Put the drained sun-dried tomatoes, whole almonds, peeled garlic clove with the central germ removed, a generous pinch of salt, a good grind of black pepper, and 2 3/4 tbsp of oil in a blender. Blend everything until you get a fairly coarse mixture. I used the Thermomix “by sight”, blending and gathering the pesto towards the center of the bowl several times.

  • Transfer it to a large skillet, soften it with the necessary amount of pasta cooking water to obtain a creamy mixture, and cook over very low heat for a few minutes.

  • Trim the green beans, wash them, and cut them into even pieces. 

  • In a pot, bring plenty of salted water to a boil. Drop in the green beans and cook them for five minutes before adding the spaghetti. 

  • Cook until done, then drain spaghetti and green beans and transfer them to the skillet with the sauce. Save some cooking water to use if the sauce seems too dry.

  • Mix well to combine all ingredients, flavor with finely chopped parsley and adjust salt if necessary. 

  • Divide the homemade spaghetti into individual plates and serve immediately, very hot. Enjoy! Paola
