Don’t worry on busy days! This is an ultra-simple recipe for delicious Rosé Spaghetti that rivals restaurant quality, ready in under 10 minutes using a store-bought Rosé sauce. Add chewy rice cakes for a fusion tteokbokki twist!
Essential Ingredients- Jarred Rosé Spaghetti Sauce: 1/2 bottle (approx. for 2 servings)
- Spaghetti Noodles: 1-2 servings (adjust to your preference, rice cakes can be added)
- Parmesan Cheese: A little, for enhanced flavor
- Dried Parsley Flakes: A little, for garnish and aroma
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add the spaghetti noodles and cook them. Standard dried spaghetti usually takes about 8-10 minutes to reach al dente, but always check the package instructions as cooking times can vary depending on the type of pasta. The pasta I used here only needed about 4 minutes. For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt to the boiling water.
Step 2
Once the pasta is cooked to your liking, drain all but 2-3 tablespoons of the pasta water. This starchy water is a secret ingredient that helps to emulsify and thicken the sauce later.
Step 3
Now it’s time to add the delicious Rosé sauce. A typical bottle of store-bought Rosé spaghetti sauce is usually for 4 servings, so pour about half of the bottle (enough for approximately 2 servings) into the pan.
Step 4
Turn the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 1 minute to thicken slightly. Cooking on medium-low heat prevents the sauce from burning and deepens its flavor. If the sauce seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water to achieve a smoother consistency.
Step 5
Turn off the heat completely and stir in a generous amount of Parmesan cheese. The cheese will melt into the sauce, adding a richer, savory depth. Stir well with a spoon or whisk until the cheese is fully incorporated.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle a good pinch of dried parsley flakes over the top for a beautiful presentation and a fresh aroma. Your delicious Rosé Spaghetti is ready! Feel free to add chewy rice cakes, bacon, shrimp, or other seafood to make it even more special.
