Tomato Spaghetto Using Agar Agar

Directions

Tomato Soup Recipe

1. Mix all the soup ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil, then simmer for a further 25 minutes.

2. Once cool blend into a smooth puree then add salt and pepper to taste.

3. Then pass the puree through a sieve to ensure the puree is completely smooth.

Tomato Spaghetto:

1. To make the Spaghetto, put the Tomato Soup into a saucepan, gradually add the Agar Agar and mix thoroughly until dissolved.

2. Bring to the boil stirring constantly with a beater.

3. Remove from the heat and skim any impurities off the top of the mixture.

4. Using 1 metre of the silicone tubing and a syringe, attach one end of the tubing to the syringe. Use the syringe to fill the tubing with the mixture, seal the open end with tape or a clip (folding the end first if this is easier to seal).

5. Submerge the full tubing into a bowl of cold water and leave for a few minutes until the soup mixture sets. Once set remove the syringe and open the other end of the tubing. Use an empty syringe to push air into the tube and eject the Spaghetto.  The Spaghetto can be served hot or cold.

6. Serving suggestions: Serve the Spaghetto coiled into a spiral with fresh Mozzarella, olive oil, pepper, sea salt and fresh Basil leaves. Roll into a spiral and cut into slices, serve with Parmesan Cheese and fried Basil leaves.
