Spaghetti with Three Tomato Sauce

This is a simple and delicious dish. I like to use those small Campari tomatoes from Costco instead of the cherry tomatoes because I like the flavor better. If you have Trader Joe's in your area their sun-dried tomatoes are a much better deal than the typical grocery store. Also, I never needed to add any of the reserved pasta water in, so I just drained the pasta and then add the tomato sauce.

Ingredients

• Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pound spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato oil, (from oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes with juice
• 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1 pound cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of boiling salted water to a boil.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons tomato oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add canned tomatoes with juice and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer gently over medium, stirring occasionally and breaking up canned tomatoes until thick, 15 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes; simmer until soft, 10 minutes.
3. Drain spaghetti, reserving 1 cup pasta water; return pasta to pot. Add tomato mixture; season with salt and pepper. Toss, adding pasta water as desired. Serve immediately.
