• Lastly add your red wine and slowly let it simmer.

Napolitana sauce

• Chop the shallots + garlic, place this in a pan with some olive oil and your Rosa tomatoes.

• Start adding your salt, oregano, thyme and lastly basil. Now let it simmer.

• Season with salt + pepper.

• Add some more fresh basil.

Sphagetti

• In a medium sized bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the flour, add the beaten egg, and mix. Mixture should form a stiff dough. If needed, mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons water.

• On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for 5 minutes. With a pasta machine or by hand, roll the dough out to desired thinness. Use machine or knife to cut into strips of your desired width.

• Toss it in a bowl with some more flour to make sure they do not stick to each other. You can now let them dry to use later or start boiling them right away.
