4QT

Ingredients

Some pieces become essential in the kitchen… and the Classica® 4QT pot with lid is one of them. Whether you’re making soups, stews, or — like today — a simple fresh tomato pasta, this pot proves how quality, design, and performance make all the difference.

In this quick and healthy recipe, we cook pasta al dente, coat it in a fresh tomato sauce, and finish it with your favorite olives and herbs. It’s a humble dish — elevated by precision cooking and premium cookware.

Ingredients

  • 200 g (7 oz) dry or fresh pasta of your choice

  • 3–4 tablespoons fresh tomato paste

  • 1/4 cup reserved pasta water

  • Black or green olives (to taste)

  • Garlic or fresh rosemary (optional, for extra flavor)

  • Grated Parmesan cheese (to serve)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

 

Preparation

Step-by-step Instructions

  1. Boil the water. Fill your Classica® 4QT pot with water and bring it to a boil.

  2. Cook the pasta.

    • For dry pasta: cook for 10 minutes.

    • For fresh pasta: cook for 5–6 minutes.
      Stir occasionally.

  3. Drain partially. Once done, drain the pasta but reserve some cooking water in the pot (about 1/4 cup).

  4. Add the tomato paste. Stir in the fresh tomato paste directly into the hot pasta.

  5. Seal and finish cooking. Place the lid on with the temp tone valve closed and cook for 1 minute over medium-low heat.

  6. Add flavor. Toss in your favorite olives and, if you like, a touch of garlic or rosemary.

  7. Serve beautifully. Top with Parmesan cheese, season to taste… and enjoy!
