Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring enough water to the boil to cover the noodles when they are added. Add salt to taste.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, drop the tomato into a basin of boiling water and let stand about 9 seconds. Peel the tomato and cut away the core. Cut the tomato into ¼-inch cubes. There should be about 2 cups.

  3. Step 3

    Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the onion and rosemary. Cook, stirring, until the onion is wilted. Add the tomato, pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Drop the noodles into the boiling water and cook, stirring, about 3 minutes if the noodles are fresh, 8 to 9 minutes if they are dried. Drain well and add the tomato sauce. Toss.

Tip
  • If a ripe, large tomato is not available, use cherry tomatoes of equal weight, or use 2 cups of cut-up, drained canned tomatoes.
