START THE Spaghetti
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 8-10 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water, and return to the pot. Toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
ENTER THE AROMATICS
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Pour in the wine and simmer until almost all evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, the grated garlic, the chilli flakes (to taste), and the NOMU rub. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the quartered baby tomatoes and fry until starting to soften, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally).
CLASSIC SAUCE
When the tomatoes are soft, mix through the tomato passata, ½ the chopped thyme, the halved olives, 30ml of water and a sweetener (to taste). Simmer until slightly reduced and thickened, 10-15 minutes.
MAKE IT CREAMY
When the sauce has reduced, stir through ½ the crème fraîche. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add a splash of the reserved pasta water. Toss through the cooked pasta and season.
PASTA PERFECTION
Plate up the tomato pasta. Dollop over the remaining crème fraîche. Finish off with the remaining thyme and a good crack of black pepper. *Chef’s kiss*
