Ingredients
  • 180g De Tacchi gluten free Maranello Corn Maccheroni
  • 4 Tomatoes“San Marzano” or “Ramato” varieties, very red.
  • 12big leaves Fresh basil

  • 20g Mascarpone cheese
  • 20g grated Parmesan cheese
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions
  1. Peel a tomato following this rapid method: make a cross-shaped incision on the top, immerse it in a small pot of boiling water for about 30 seconds, remove it from the water and peel the skin that at this point should come apart very easily.
  2. Set the skin aside and cut the peeled tomato in 4 parts. Remove and store the inside (pulp and seeds) and cut the remaining outer part into small cubes. Put the obtained cubes to marinate in oil together with the chopped basil leaves and fresh oregano leaves.
  3. Heat water in a large pot to cook the pasta (you can re-use the water used previously to peel the tomato, adding some more until you get the necessary amount to contain the pasta).
  4. Chop the other three tomatoes and add them to the skins and the internal parts of the tomato previously used. Add a little oil and blend everything with a mixer until a smooth and homogeneous mixture is obtained.
  5. Filter the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve and place it in a saucepan over low heat. Add a tablespoon of soy sauce, the mascarpone and the grated Parmesan cheese. Let it thicken slowly, stirring occasionally.
  6. When the water boils, put in a little salt and then the pasta, continuing in the meantime to let the sauce thicken in the saucepan.
  7. When the pasta is cooked (about 9 minutes) drain it and remove the saucepan with the sauce from heat.
  8. Serve placing the sauce on the bottom of the plate, then putting the pasta in the center and above it the diced tomatoes marinated with the oil and basil and oregano leaves. At this point, if you want, you can also add the finely chopped spring onion or chives.
  9. Add a little bit of raw oil and some minced black or green pepper.
