The spaghetti with tomato dish is a very tasty and very easy to prepare. It affects how despite the simplicity of preparation there are many different ways to prepare this dish first. Clearly the differences are in how to prepare tomato sauce. In fact some use garlic, some onion, some garlic and onion together; to remove the taste a little bitter tomato use some sugar others sodium bicarbonate. And you could list many other differences. But turn to the recipe.

This is how I prefer to prepare spaghetti with tomato.

Ingredients for 4 people:

400 gr. Spaghetti,
400 gr. Tomato (fresh, peeled or past),
An onion,
Basil,
Oil,
Salt,
Sodium bicarbonate.

Preparation:
Finely chop the onion and fry it in olive oil with some basil leaves. When onions will be colorful adds tomatoes and salt, then bring to boil adding half a cup d 'hot water. Cook (without too dry, add to the limit of 'water) for 20-30 minutes. And taste of salt. If the sauce is a little acid must add a pinch of sodium bicarbonate (this takes away the acidity). Meanwhile, cook pasta in salted water, drain and dress with the sauce and decorated with leaves of basil advanced.

A curiosity about spaghetti with tomato.
In the book "A table with the story" the author, Maria Luisa Minareli, tells of an episode in which the protagonists are great actresses Anna Magnani, Ingrid Bergman and director Roberto Rossellini.
It is said that while the director and the Italian actress, had lunch in a popular restaurant in Amalfi, a break during filming of the movie "Love," Rossellini received a telegram from Bergman and then Magnani blinded by jealousy raised the pot just led by maids and reverse all the spaghetti with tomato him to the director who wore a white dress white linen.
Of course this is not the best use we can do a good plate of spaghetti me is a curiosity that struck me.
