Fettuccine with Smoked Tomato Sauce
RECIPE COURTESY OF MICHAEL SYMON
Level: Easy
Total: 45 min
Active: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces bacon, diced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
1/2 cup dry white wine
Small bundle fresh oregano
Small bundle fresh thyme
1 pound dried fettuccine
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Parmesan, for serving

Directions

Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat. Place a cooling rack over indirect heat. Place a heavy-bottomed saucepot over direct heat.

Slice the tomatoes in half. Drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes on the cooling rack on the grill, cut-side down, to soften and take on some smoke while you make the sauce, 10 to 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, add a drizzle of olive oil to the saucepot along with the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally until the bacon is crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, onions and crushed red pepper flakes if using and cook until the onions soften, an additional few minutes. Add the wine. Tie the fresh herbs together with a piece of butcher's twine and add to the saucepot.

When your tomatoes have begun to soften, remove them from the grill. Remove the skins (they will come off really easy), add the tomatoes to the saucepot and season with salt and pepper. Close the grill and continue to cook the sauce until the tomatoes fully break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta 2 minutes less than the package directions. Using tongs, pull the pasta out and add it directly to the tomato sauce, along with 1/3 cup of the starchy pasta water. Mix to combine. The sauce will stick to the pasta. Remove the saucepot from the heat.

Add the butter and a drizzle of olive oil to the pasta and stir to combine. Add the basil and and stir again. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan over top.

(Alternatively, you can cook the sauce and pasta over medium-high heat on a stovetop.)

[pamelavail]

Can you preserve smoke tomatoes as gift giving or later for yourself!? And How?

[ChristianBlandford]

Nice :)



“Bakers rack” is not a thing ahahhaha

[alicebonnet]

I saw you transfer the tomatoes to the rack one at a time instead of putting rack on pan and flipping the entire rack saving work. It really bothers me.

[devilalvarounberic]

Help how can I make my child don't drink beer!?

[bethany]

Can we get a new camera person? This one asks to substitute ingredients in EVERY one of his recipes. Who ‘hired’ a picky eater for a cooking show?!? Damn you pandemic.
