The Spaghetti with tomato sauce they are outstanding! Inviting and appetizing, they are a very cheap dish that can be prepared in a few minutes. Ideal for a family lunch or a dinner with friends, they are one of the best delicacies you will ever eat. The secret to the success of this first course? Definitely use quality ingredients but, above all, don’t overcook spaghetti: overcooked pasta, in fact, becomes sticky and ends up ruining the whole dish.

Spaghetti must therefore be al dente and for this reason they must be drained a minute before the end of cooking just like my grandmother used to do. And, please! When you fry the garlic in the oil, be very careful not to burn it because otherwise it would acquire a bitter taste which spoils the sauce. For an even better result, enjoy them hot. Serve them with a slice of fresh bread so you can make the slipper in the sauce that remains on the plate once the pasta is finished, and it is immediately a fairy tale!
