Sunday Sawce: Tomato Orange Pasta 🍊

This recipe has been adapted from Cook’s Illustrated circa 2018.

Ingredients
½ pound linguine or bucatini
Kosher salt
¼ cup olive oil
½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp. Grated orange zest
1 tsp. Dried oregano
Red pepper flakes (to taste/preference)
2 pints grape or cherry tomatoes
½ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1 cup torn basil (or ½ cup fresh tarragon)
½ cup finely chopped Castelvetrano olives
1 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese 

Make it!
1. Cook the pasta according to the package for al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and strain the rest. Set pasta aside until final steps.

2. Heat a large pan over medium and add the olive oil. Once shimmery, add the red onion and cook, stirring, until translucent. About 4 minutes. Add the garlic, orange zest, and oregano and stir for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and orange juice, stir and cover for 7-9 minutes, or until the tomatoes have begun to burst. 

3. Remove the lid and smash any tomatoes that haven’t fully burst. Add the drained pasta and ½ cup of pasta water. Stir over medium heat until the sauce begins to reduce and sticks to the pasta, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the olives, ½ cup of Pecorino Romano and basil. Stir and serve with more cheese, olive oil, crushed red pepper, and flaky salt. Cheers!

Happy Sunday 😎
