Ingredients

Scale

Tomato Bone Broth:

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 4 cups chicken bone broth
  • Pinch of sugar
  • Salt to taste

Spaghetti:

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic (minced or sliced)
  • 1–5 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes or Calabrian chili paste (to taste)
  • 1 1/2 cups tomato puree or passata (divided)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 pound dry spaghetti

Instructions

  1. Make the tomato bone broth. Heat a medium saucepan over medium low heat, then add the olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add the tomato paste and cook for about a minute, smashing the paste into the pan and stirring. Add the bone broth, sugar and salt and bring to a simmer. Taste and add more salt if needed, then keep on a low heat, ready for the pasta cookery.
  2. Get ready for the s’getti. To a large, wide, nonstick saute pan (as wide as the pasta is long) over medium low heat, add the olive oil, garlic and chili flakes. When the garlic and chilis start to sizzle, stir and cook for a minute, then add one cup of the tomato puree, season with salt to taste, turn the heat to medium and bring to a simmer.
  3. Char and cook the s’getti. Add the dry spaghetti in as thin a layer as you can into your pan (make sure it’s all going the same direction) and let simmer in the tomato sauce for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has become thick and the pasta has a chance to start getting caramelized. Don’t move the pasta around! Then ladle half of the tomato broth over the pasta and continue cooking until all of the liquid has been absorbed, plus another minute or two to continue to char the pasta on the bottom of the pan, again not moving the pasta around to allow that caramelization to happen.
  4. Finish the s’getti. Once the spaghetti has got some nice char/caramelization underneath, flip the spaghetti, ladle the remaining broth overtop, and allow to simmer again until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Add the remaining ½ cup of tomato puree and a splash of water, then toss to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then plate and serve immediately!

Notes

  • You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less red pepper flakes or chili paste.
  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Ensure the spaghetti is arranged neatly in the pan to allow for even cooking and caramelization.
