Part 7/9:
In hot weather, minimal prep and quick cooking are key. The spaghetti no knife recipe emphasizes a fresh tomato sauce prepared without a knife—using only ripened tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
Preparation Tips
Use a garlic peeler tool that easily removes skins. Tear fresh tomatoes into chunks, and crush garlic with a garlic peeler or a spoon for quick, hands-off prep. Toss cooked, cooled pasta with the sauce ingredients and finish with a drizzle of high-quality virgin olive oil. The result is a simple yet intensely flavorful pasta dish that requires no cheese—and only about 12 minutes of cooking time.
