Recipe - Sciue Sciue Titinas Move It! Pasta

5 qt Water, (up to 6)
2 tablespoon Salt plus fine sea salt, (up
to 3)
14 ounce Spaghetti, (up to 16)
2 Garlic cloves
1 small Hot red pepper or chili
pepper flakes to taste
3 tablespoon Extra virgin oil
1 pound Cherry tomatoes
3 tablespoon Coarsely chopped fresh
basil, (up to 4)

Bring 5 to 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons salt
and the spaghetti and cook until it still offers considerable resistance to
the tooth, about three quarters of the cooking time.

While the pasta is cooking, saute the garlic cloves and hot pepper in the
oil over moderate heat in a large nonstick skillet. When the garlic barely
begins to color add the cherry tomatoes and season lightly with the sea
salt. Cook over high heat until the tomatoes lose their shape.

Drain the spaghetti and add it to the skillet along with 1 cup of pasta
cooking water. Cook over high heat, stirring frequently, to amalgamate the
tomatoes and pasta and to complete cooking. Add more pasta water if the
sauce gets too dry.

Sprinkle with chopped basil before serving.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
