The Oven Experiments guest curates Hot-Clicks on Khaleejesque
The sweet people at Khaleejesque asked me to guest-curate their Hot-Clicks section on their blog and of course, I gladly accepted.
I chose five of my favorite food blogs or websites that feature food.
So go ahead and check it out here. 
Express: spaghetti with tomato sauce
When in doubt, have some spaghetti with tomato sauce!
It’s quick and easy and delicious!
A lot of people do not realize how easy it is to make your own tomato sauce. It always beats buying ready-made sauce with a million additives that you really don’t want. I’ve always added this recipe, if you even want to call it a recipe, in a e-booklet I prepare for family and friends when they travel.
To serve 2 people all you need is:
- 4 medium sized tomatoes, chopped
- good quality extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and roughly chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- your choice of pasta (penne or spaghetti works best)
In a small sauce heat the olive oil and then add the garlic, cook for 1 minute. Add then tomatoes and cook until it bubbles. Reduce to low heat and leave to simmer for 20 minutes.
The tomatoes will turn into a thick sweet sauce. Add the salt and pepper to taste and remove from heat.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta as instructed and save a ladle-full of the pasta water. In the same pot that you cooked the pasta in, return the drained pasta, the tomato sauce and the pasta water and mix under very low heat.
And enjoy!
