Add the garlic and cook until the slivers are golden brown and crisp, then add the chiles and cook for about 30 seconds. Raise the heat to high and add the tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes soften and the juices thicken, about 3 minutes. Add the basil and season with salt and pepper.
• When the pasta is al dente, scoop out about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta. Return the pasta to the warm pot off the heat. Add the sauce and mix well. Add some of the reserved cooking water if the pasta seems dry. Transfer to a warm serving bowl and grate Parmesan over the top, to taste. Drizzle with a little more olive oil. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan. After about 30 seconds to allow the oil to heat up, add the Condi Spaghettata spice mix to the pan. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes, adjusting the heat if necessary to maintain a light simmer. Once the spice mix is fragrant and lightly toasted, carefully add the canned tomatoes and their juices to the pan, and set the heat to medium. Stir occasionally for 3 to 4 minutes, lightly popping and breaking up the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon. Add the two tablespoons of butter and swirl the pan until it combines fully with the tomato mixture.

PASTA ALLE MANDORLE E POMODORINI SECCHI DI SANTA MARIA AL BAGNO

Steps:

• With a mezzaluna or a very sharp knife, mince the garlic and the zest to a paste.
• In a sauté pan over a medium flame, heat the olive oil and add the almonds, sautéing them a minute or two in the oil, taking care not to let them get too dark. Remove from the flame and add the garlic/orange paste and the crushed chile, stirring them about and permitting them to scent the oil and the almonds. Set the pan aside.
• In a small saucepan, heat the wine and add the sun-dried tomatoes and the dried olives, bringing the mixture just to a simmer. Remove the pan from the flame, cover it, and permit the tomatoes and the olives to plump up a bit for 10 minutes. Remove the tomatoes and the olives with a slotted spoon and add them to the sauté pan with the almonds. Reduce the remaining wine over a lively flame to a tablespoon or so and add it to the sauté pan.
• Cook the pasta in abundant boiling, sea-salted water to al dente, draining it but leaving it somewhat wet. Transfer the pasta to a large, shallow, warmed bowl, tossing it with the just rewarmed sauce, coating each strand. Strew the pasta with a few torn leaves of basil and present it with good red wine.
