Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preparing tomato water: Blend the peeled tomatoes until smooth in a blender. Strain this mixture through a cheesecloth and squeeze firmly, so that only clear tomato water remains and no seeds. Set aside.

Artichoke-basil mascarpone cream: Gently heat the mascarpone in a pan.

Add the artichoke hearts, basil, and pecorino. Blend everything with an immersion blender or in a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Preparing spaghetti: Heat a large saucepan without oil or butter. Add the dry spaghetti and toast it for about 10 minutes, shaking regularly, until the pasta is lightly roasted.

Add 2 ladles of tomato water along with the finely chopped garlic, sage, and basil. Keep shaking continuously.

As soon as the tomato water has reduced, add new ladles of tomato water one at a time. Continue until all the tomato juice is used and the pasta is cooked with a nice glossy sauce. Add a splash of olive oil in between for extra flavor.

When everything is cooked and caramelized, you can start serving.

Serving: Place a generous spoonful of the artichoke cream in the center of a deep plate.

Twirl the pasta with a meat fork and form a nice nest on the cream.

Finish with a leaf of fresh basil and a few drops of olive oil.

Tips

Use a high -quality pasta such as Garofalo for the best results. It is important to constantly shake the pasta during cooking, so that the sauce is properly absorbed. For an extra intense taste you can slightly grill the artichokes before you incorporate them into the cream.
