As we all know, Italian cuisine is a world-renowned culinary tradition with a lot of delicious dishes to offer. One of those dishes is pasta alla sorrentina. This dish is a specialty from Sorrento, a small town located by the Amalfi Coast in Southern Italy. It is a simple yet flavorful dish that can be prepared with just a few ingredients found in any kitchen pantry.

The key ingredient for this recipe is San Marzano tomatoes. These tomatoes are handpicked from the San Marzano region in Italy and have a unique flavor that can’t be found in regular tomatoes. They are slightly sweet with low acidity, making them the perfect ingredient for this pasta sauce.

To start, gather the following ingredients:

– 1 lb of short pasta (penne, fusilli, rigatoni, or ziti)
– 1 can of San Marzano tomatoes
– 1 garlic clove
– 1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil
– A pinch of red pepper flakes
– 1/4 tsp of dried oregano
– 1/4 cup of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
– 1/4 cup of torn fresh basil leaves
– Salt and pepper to taste

Firstly, cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Then, drain the pasta and reserve a cup of the cooking water.

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté until fragrant but not browned.

Add the San Marzano tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet. With a wooden spoon, crush the tomatoes and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water.

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss it with the sauce until evenly coated. Add the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and basil leaves to the skillet, and stir everything together for an additional minute.

Serve hot in bowls with extra grated cheese and a sprinkle of chopped fresh basil on top.

This pasta alla sorrentina recipe is the perfect meal for a quick, delicious weeknight dinner or a cozy night in with loved ones. The San Marzano tomatoes give the sauce a unique flavor that is worth trying. Plus, the recipe is straightforward and can be made in under 30 minutes.
