SCARPETTA'S SPAGHETTI
3.11.14
When I first found this recipe, I remember I was in the mood for pasta and I wanted something light. The ingredients I had at the time were spaghetti, tomatoes, garlic and basil, so I googled the ingredients (like I do everything else) and I came across a recipe by Scarpetta for Spaghetti With Fresh Tomato Sauce And Garlic Basil Oil. It was definitely meant to be.
