Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams spaghetti
- 500 milliliters tomato juice
- 100 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 grams basil leaves, fresh
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8–10 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour the tomato juice into the skillet and stir to combine. Simmer the mixture for 5–7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to reduce slightly.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting quantities to taste.
Drain the cooked spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet with the tomato juice sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.
Add the grated parmesan cheese to the skillet and mix well until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve the spaghetti hot with additional parmesan cheese on the side, if desired.
