Italian Dinner Night

Six items, one dinner, under fifteen euros for four people. Bronze-cut spaghetti so the sauce clings, passata sieved the day the tomatoes were picked, a red pesto made with almonds and pecorino, hard cheese to grate over the top and an oil good enough to finish the plate with.

Cook the pasta a minute short, finish it in the pan with the sauce and a ladle of the cooking water, and grate the cheese at the table. The salami is for while you wait.
