No Regretti Spaghetti's Brown Butter Pomodoro With Olive Gremolata

Creamy, nutty, zesty, and fresh – this is the pasta you’ll want to serve at your next long lunch.

Welcome to Put on a Spread, a recipe series that takes you inside the kitchens – and dining rooms – of some of our favorite home cooks. For this instalment, pasta connoisseur Gabriella Simonian of No Regretti Spaghetti shares her recipe for this brown butter pomodoro with olive gremolata.

Ingredients

Olive gremolata

  • Small bunch of flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 10-12 large green olives, roughly chopped
  • ½ shallot, finely diced
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced or grated
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Several tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Brown butter pomodoro

  • 100g unsalted butter
  • 1x 400g can of good quality, whole peeled tomatoes
  • Salt
  • 320g tagliatelle

Method

Serves 4

  • Combine the parsley, olives, lemon zest and garlic and drizzle in the olive oil – using enough to create a chunky but somewhat loose consistency.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
  • In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat until browned – it will melt, foam, and splutter – once it becomes golden brown and smells lovely and nutty, it’s ready.
  • Tip in the canned tomatoes and mix well – season with salt and reduce the heat. Allow the sauce to simmer while you bring a pot of water to a rapid boil.
  • Salt the water generously before cooking the pasta until al dente.
  • Transfer the pasta directly to the sauce and toss to marry.
  • Serve family style on a platter and adorn with the olive gremolata.
