Three Tomato Spaghetti

To prepare the three tomato spaghetti, start by chopping the fresh oregano which will be used to flavor the cherry tomatoes 1 (you can also use dried oregano). Take a small bowl and put the 2 teaspoons of sugar. Add the chopped oregano 2 and mix 3.

Then wash the cherry tomatoes, cut them in half 4 and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with the cut side facing up. Use a teaspoon to distribute the oregano and sugar mixture on each half of the tomato 5. Then drizzle the tomatoes with a bit of oil 6 and bake in a preheated convection oven at 392°F for 20 minutes (if using a static oven, set it to 410°F for 25-30 minutes).

Once cooked, remove them from the oven 7, let them cool. Then gradually put them through a food mill 8 to turn them into a sauce that you will collect in a small bowl 9.

Now move to the san marzano tomatoes. Wash them and cut them in half 10. Then use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds 11. Finally, chop the tomatoes into pieces 12.

Place the chopped san marzano tomatoes in a bowl, add oil, salt, oregano, and basil coarsely chopped by hand 13. Now prepare the piccadilly tomatoes. Wash them and make a cross incision in the skin 14 so that once cooked it will be easier to peel them. Then take a large pot, fill it with water, bring to a boil, and immerse the tomatoes 15. Blanch the tomatoes for about 30 seconds.

Then drain the piccadilly tomatoes 16 and peel them with the help of a small knife 17; remove the seeds and cut them lengthwise to obtain fillets 18.

Add the piccadilly tomato fillets to the chopped san marzano tomatoes 19 and mix with a teaspoon 20. Clean and slice the shallot and put it in a pan to sauté with a bit of oil 21.

Sauté for a few moments, add a ladle of hot water to prevent the shallot from burning 22 and pour in the previously obtained cherry tomato sauce 23. Mix and let it flavor for a few moments. Then add the mix of piccadilly and san marzano tomatoes 34.

Let the tomatoes flavor for 4-5 minutes 25. Meanwhile, put a large pot on the stove, fill it with salted water (if needed, you can add some cooking water to the tomato sauce) and when it boils, add the spaghetti 26. Cook the spaghetti for a few minutes, then drain them, reserving some cooking water, and transfer them directly to the pan 27.

Add a little cooking water to the pan if necessary so the pasta does not dry out excessively 28. Stir and finish cooking the pasta in the pan. You can add some fresh basil and grated Parmesan to taste 29. Then serve your three tomato spaghetti hot 30!
