About this recipe

These spaghetti with homemade tomato sofrito are a dish that reminds me of my grandmother. She always prepared a delicious sofrito, with tomatoes from her garden, which she then used to accompany the pasta. Although she did it by hand, with the Thermomix® we can achieve a similar result, and much faster! The key to this dish lies in the quality of the ingredients. The tomatoes should be ripe and juicy, preferably of the pear or branch variety, which have more flavor. The spring onion provides a sweet and soft touch, while the garlic gives it a point of intensity. The chicken stock cube, although optional, enhances the flavor of the tomato and gives it an umami touch. As for the pasta, spaghetti are ideal for this type of sauce, as they are well impregnated with the sofrito. To prepare the sofrito in the Thermomix®, it is important to follow the steps carefully. First, we chop the spring onion and garlic finely so that they integrate well into the sauce. Then, we grate the tomatoes to obtain a smooth and homogeneous texture. Next, we sauté the spring onion and garlic in extra virgin olive oil until golden brown. Add the grated tomato, salt, pepper to taste and half a crumbled chicken stock cube, and cook over low heat until the tomato has concentrated and the sauce has thickened. It is important not to raise the temperature too much so that the tomato does not burn and become bitter. If you want to give the dish a different touch, you can add other vegetables to the sofrito, such as green or red pepper, or even eggplant. For a vegetarian or vegan version, you can omit the chicken stock cube or replace it with a vegetable stock cube. You can also add fresh aromatic herbs, such as basil, oregano or parsley, to give it a fresher and more aromatic touch. When serving, you can accompany the spaghetti with sofrito with a green salad or a slice of crusty bread. If you like cheese, don't hesitate to add a little grated cheese on top, such as parmesan, grana padano or pecorino romano. If you have leftover sofrito, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days. You can also freeze it for later use. The sofrito can also be used to prepare other dishes, such as rice, stews or pizzas. To prepare in advance, you can make the sofrito the day before and store it in the refrigerator. The next day, you will only have to cook the pasta and mix it with the sofrito. A simple, tasty and versatile dish that is always a hit!
