Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt.
In a 12 to 14-inch saute pan, combine the olive oil, pepper flakes, and garlic and saute until the garlic is almost brown, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce and bring to a simmer.
Cook the pasta according to the package directions, until tender yet al dente, about 6 minutes. Drain the pasta and add it to tomato mixture. Toss over high heat one minute. Divide among 4 heated bowls, shave bottarga over each bowl, sprinkle with bread crumbs, and serve immediately.
Oven-Roasted Tomatoes:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise, squeeze out the seeds, and remove the membrane. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, oil, salt, and pepper and coat the tomatoes with mixture.
Place the tomatoes, cut side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the oven. Cook for 2 hours, or until the tomatoes are very soft and have lost about half of their liquid.
Basic Tomato Sauce:
In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and light golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the thyme and carrot and cook until the carrot is quite soft, about 5 minutes more. Add the tomatoes and their juice and bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower the heat and simmer until as thick as hot cereal, about 30 minutes. Season with salt, to taste.
This sauce holds 1 week in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer.
Yield: 4 cups
