Ingredients
| 900g | ripe tomatoes |
|---|---|
| 2 tbsp | olive oil, plus extra for the ‘courgetti’ |
| 1 | onion, finely chopped |
| 2-3 | garlic cloves, crushed |
| 1 tsp | balsamic vinegar |
| A dash of sugar | |
| 2 tbsp | tomato puree |
| 4 | large courgettes |
| Salt and freshly ground black pepper | |
| 2 tbsp | chopped fresh basil leaves, to serve |
| Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, to serve |
Essential kit
You will need a spiralizer.
Method
To make the sauce, first make a small cross on the bases of the tomatoes. Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for 1 – 1 ½ minutes until the skins are just starting to peel off. Drain and cool under cold running water, then peel off the skins, quarter the tomatoes and remove the seeds.
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic and onion and sauté for 5 minutes, then add the tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, sugar and tomato puree. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 – 35 minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened. Season well.
Put the courgettes through the spiralizer to make long spaghetti-like strands of ‘courgetti’.
Heat a little oil in a large frying pan or wok. Quickly fry the ‘courgetti’ for 2 – 3 minutes until just tender – if you want it softer you can fry it for a little longer. Season and spoon into a serving dish. Pour over the tomato sauce and sprinkle with basil and cheese.
