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.
- 2
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.
- 5
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.
