Classic Homemade Farfalle with Tomato Basil Sauce

Last weekend, I found myself craving the comfort of homemade pasta, something that reminded me of my grandmother’s kitchen. That’s when I decided to whip up a batch of Classic Homemade Farfalle with Tomato Basil Sauce, a dish that’s as fun to make as it is to eat.

Ingredients

• Flour – 2 cups
• Eggs – 2 large
• Salt – ½ tsp
• Tomatoes – 4 medium, diced
• Fresh basil – ¼ cup, chopped
• Garlic – 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil – 2 tbsp

Instructions

1. On a clean surface, mound the flour and make a well in the center. Tip: This method helps incorporate the eggs evenly without making a mess.
2. Crack the eggs into the well, add salt, and gradually mix with a fork, incorporating flour from the sides until a dough forms.

5. Roll the dough out to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into 1-inch squares. Pinch the centers to form farfalle shapes.
6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the farfalle for 3-4 minutes until al dente.
7. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
8. Add diced tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Tip: For a smoother sauce, blend half of it before adding the basil.
9. Stir in chopped basil and cook for another 2 minutes.
10. Toss the cooked farfalle with the tomato basil sauce and serve immediately.

My favorite part about this dish is the texture of the farfalle, with its delicate edges and sturdy center, perfectly holding onto the vibrant tomato basil sauce. Serve it with a sprinkle of Parmesan and a glass of your favorite white wine for a simple yet elegant meal.
