Oil-free tomato spaghetti gets a fuller flavor when you cook the tomatoes down until concentrated and season them well. Garlic, black pepper and herbs add depth; a splash of pasta water helps the sauce coat the strands.
Yes, canned tomatoes work well in oil-free tomato spaghetti. Simmer them until the sauce thickens, since canned tomatoes can be quite watery; crushed or chopped varieties are easy to use straight from the tin.
The sauce is usually watery because the tomatoes have not simmered long enough or the pasta was added with too much cooking water. Simmer the sauce uncovered to reduce it, then add pasta water only a little at a time.
No, oil in the cooking water does not reliably stop oil-free tomato spaghetti from sticking; it mostly floats on top. Use plenty of boiling water, stir the spaghetti as it cooks and mix it with the sauce soon after draining.
Basil and oregano are classic choices for oil-free tomato spaghetti, while parsley or red-pepper flakes can change the flavor. Add dried herbs while the tomato sauce simmers and fresh basil near the end to keep its aroma.
Yes, you can make the tomato sauce for oil-free tomato spaghetti ahead and refrigerate it in a covered container. Cook the spaghetti close to serving time, then warm the sauce and toss the two together.
Oil-free tomato spaghetti keeps for about 3 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate it promptly after cooking, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Yes, oil-free tomato spaghetti can be frozen, although the strands may soften after thawing. Freeze it in individual airtight portions, then reheat with a small splash of water to loosen the tomato sauce.
Serve oil-free tomato spaghetti with a green salad, roasted vegetables or a bean dish. If you want a simple side, garlic bread also works, though it adds oil depending on how it is made.
Oil-free tomato spaghetti can fit into a weight-loss meal, but leaving out oil alone does not make it a weight-loss food. Pair a moderate serving with vegetables and a protein source to make the meal more filling.

Oil-free tomato spaghetti pairs cooked spaghetti with a tomato sauce prepared without added oil. It is a simple, Italian-inspired pasta dish, with sauces that may be seasoned with garlic and herbs depending on the recipe.
The tomato brings a gentle tang, while the sauce clings to the strands, which should be tender with a little bite. It works as an easy lunch or dinner and is often served with a side salad; in many places, people also add cheese at the table. The dish is low in fat and gets most of its energy from carbohydrates. For a more filling meal, serve it with beans or add vegetables to the sauce.
