Ahh, pasta.  Nothing is as rewarding, filling, and downright delicious as a big bowl of fresh pasta made with love. It’s hard to find good, quality pasta nowadays. Too many plates of pasta in restaurants come frozen and don’t have that freshness or flavor that makes a good pasta dish memorable. Except when you visit this Miami Beach staple known as Scarpetta. Thanks to celebrity chef Scott Conant, one of the best pasta dishes in the entire country is served right here in Florida.

If ever you’ve been to Miami Beach before, it’s likely you’ve heard about (or visited) the resort-style Mecca that is Fontainebleau.

Scarpetta is led by James Beard award recipient and celebrity chef Scott Conant, and serves up regional Italian fare with….wait for it…unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean.

If that wasn’t enough, this restaurant also happens to have one of the best plates of pasta you can have in the United States, and it is oh-so-simple in style.

The Tomato & Basil Spaghetti at Scarpetta uses Conant’s tomato sauce recipe, which let’s just say this recipe is likely one of the best things you’ll eat all year.

The secret to the sauce is peeling and seeding tomatoes that are absolutely, no-questions-about-it ripe, then slow cooking them in olive oil, garlic, crushed red pepper, and basil.

All the flavors come together like the perfect orchestra of food, which is then blended with the al-dente, homemade pasta and served up in style.

We’re not joking when we say that this sauce and pasta recipe is one of the most beloved in the entire country—just wait and see for yourself.
