Charred Spaghetti with Garlic-Tomato Broth
Charred Spaghetti with Garlic-Tomato Broth brings a toasty, nutty depth to silky strands finished in a rich tomato and chicken broth sauce. Butter and Parmigiano Reggiano round it out with creamy, savory notes, while basil adds fresh lift and optional chili flakes a gentle kick. Serve for a relaxed weeknight dinner or as a versatile base for grilled toppings.

Set up an outdoor charcoal grill for medium-high heat.

Lay the dry spaghetti on the hot charcoal grill and cook, tossing frequently with tongs, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Add olive oil to a pan and place over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for about 1 minute; then pour in the broth.

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the broth to a simmer. Add salt and the grilled spaghetti, and use tongs to move the spaghetti back and forth until it softens enough to be submerged in the broth.

Cook, stirring, until the spaghetti is as tender as you prefer; this will take a few minutes longer than the package suggests. If the pan becomes too dry, add another splash of broth.

Lower the heat to low; stir in the butter and basil. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheese. Serve right away.
