Gourmet Spaghetti al Pomodoro

Bring water to a boil in a pot, add salt, bring to a boil again, add pasta and cook it according to package directions. When pasta is almost ready, take 1 cup of cooking water and set aside.  While pasta water is heating, begin with the preparation of the sauce. 

Preheat the oven at 200 ^oC (grill and air). Place cherry tomatoes in a single layer on a pan. Add garlic and herbs and sprinkle with sugar and salt. Drizzle the oil over the tomatoes and toss to coat evenly. Bake  for 15 minutes until  cherry tomatoes caramelize. 

For the aromatic oil, put all ingredients in a small saucepan. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, strain and keep the oil.

Mix baked tomatoes with aromatic oil in a bowl. Using an immersion stick (beamer), blend until soft and creamy. Check for salt. 

Drain cooked pasta return it to the pan and add sauce. Give everything a toss. If sauce is too thick, add a quantity of pasta cooking water to it. Serve with fresh basil leaves and enjoy!
