Pretty Good Pasta

So we had a lack of food in the house, which sometimes is the best situation for a chef. Also, we had just ordered a boatload of bomba (Italian hot pepper sauce) and couldn't wait to open it.

I am ashamed to say that I just learned the correct way to make pasta, but I had just learned to correct way to make pasta.


Sauce:

10 cherry tomatoes
1 cup ketchup
1/4 Bomba hot sauce
1/4 cup Cento hogie spread
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
2 stems fresh rosemary
2 stems fresh thyme

NB (Nota bene): I know were all chefs here, but just in case you're not, don't throw in the stems of the herbs. Just gently roll between your fingers to get the leaves off.

Pasta:
 1 tablespoon olive oil
1 box whole grain spaghetti

1. Start boiling the water. Preferably in a pot with a colander in it so you can drain the pasta and save some starchy water.
2. Stew the tomatoes. Saute the veggies. Combine the sauces and spread.
3. When all sauce components are ready, combine and add the herbs.
4. When pasta is ready, pour out into a colander. DO NOT pour all the starchy water out of the pot or run cold water over the pasta.
5. Combine pasta, sauce and oil.
6. Buon appetito
