Audrey Hepburns Hutspot Recipes

Steps:

• Dice the carrots, onion, and celery. Thinly slice half of the basil leaves. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook until softened but not brown.
• Add in the whole basil leaves, garlic, and tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking apart the larger tomatoes as they cook.
• After 45 minutes, or when the vegetables are tender, remove the sauce from the heat and let rest for 15 minutes.
• While the sauce is simmering, fill another large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add salt, if desired. Cook the spaghetti until al dente. Drain and rinse the pasta with lukewarm water to prevent sticking.
• Taste the sauce and add salt, if desired. Serve pasta topped generously with sauce, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and the reserved sliced basil leaves.
• Enjoy!
