description
In the Salento tradition, Spaghetti with Tomatoes (fried tomatoes) are a delicacy that has its origins in the culture of country cooking!
preparation
step 1
Wash and dry the tomatoes perfectly. They will not be cut because when cooked they will burst on their own in hot oil (hence the name of snapping).
step 2
In a pan with a thick bottom pour the extra virgin olive oil and flavor with a clove of garlic. Allow the temperature to reach one step away from the smoke point.
step 3
They are then poured into the cherry tomatoes and immediately closed with the lid. At this point you will hear the tomatoes snapping (crackling) and shaking the pan, without opening, let it soften for three / four minutes.
step 4
When you no longer hear the crackling tomatoes, mash them with a fork, add the chilli pepper and salt and continue cooking for a few more minutes.
step 5
When the cooking of the cherry tomatoes is at the right point, remove the garlic (if you don't like it) and if you don't like the skins you can remove them with the vegetable mill otherwise leave everything as it is.
step 6
Now we can season a nice plate of pasta or a nice frisella and for those who like it, a nice grated ricotta cheese to complete.
