Steps

Boil the pasta in salted water according to package directions. While pasta cooks, prepare the tomato sauce in the GastroLab.

⏱ 10 min💡 Boil pasta in a separate pot on the stovetop; the GastroLab will prepare the sauce simultaneously.

Add olive oil and minced garlic to the GastroLab bowl. Select Manual mode, set temperature to 60°C and speed to 1, and heat for 1 minute to soften garlic without browning.

GastroLab:

Install stirring attachment. Add 30 ml olive oil and 3 minced garlic cloves to the empty bowl. On touchscreen: select Manual → set Temperature 60°C, Speed 1, Time 1 min → press knob to start. After 1 minute, press knob to pause.

⏱ 1 min💡 Keep garlic on low heat to preserve flavor.

Add crushed tomatoes and salt. Heat at 95°C with speed 1 for 12 minutes to develop flavor while maintaining the stirring attachment.

GastroLab:

Add 800 g crushed tomatoes and 5 g salt to the bowl. On touchscreen: select Manual → set Temperature 95°C, Speed 1, Time 12 min → press knob to start.

⏱ 12 min💡 The sauce will simmer gently and reduce slightly, concentrating the tomato flavor.

Drain cooked pasta and transfer to a serving bowl or directly to plates.

⏱ 2 min💡 Reserve 1 cup of pasta water to add to sauce if needed for consistency.

Remove the stirring attachment from the GastroLab and pour the tomato sauce over the drained pasta. Season with black pepper and fresh torn basil.

GastroLab:

Hold knob for 3 seconds to stop the program. Remove the stirring attachment. Carefully pour the hot sauce over the pasta.

⏱ 2 min💡 Add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time if sauce is too thick. Fresh basil added at the end keeps its bright flavor.

Chef's note: Serve immediately with grated Parmesan cheese and extra basil. A drizzle of quality olive oil adds richness. Pairs well with a crisp white wine or a light red.
