There is nothing nicer than the flavor of fresh tomatoes. You can use canned, but the trouble you take to prepare this dish is worth it. You prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking, no long hours of waiting. Great if you want meatless pasta.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta
2 pounds tomatoes
4 cloves crushed garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon tomato paste
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Place tomatoes in a kettle, and cover with cold water. Bring just to the boil. Pour off water, and cover again with cold water. Peel. Cut into small pieces.
  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
  • In a large skillet or saute pan, saute the garlic in enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. The garlic should just become opaque, not brown. Stir in the tomato paste. Immediately stir in the tomatoes, and salt and pepper. Reduce heat, and simmer until the pasta is ready; add the basil.
  • Drain the pasta, but do not rinse in cold water. Toss with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, and then mix into the sauce. Reduce the heat as low as possible. Keep warm, uncovered, for about 10 minutes when it is ready to serve. Garnish generously with fresh Parmesan cheese.
  • VARIATIONS: Saute fresh quartered mushrooms with the garlic, or add shoestring zucchini along with the tomato.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your pasta the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the pasta, be sure to use a large pot so that the pasta has plenty of room to cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the pasta will cook unevenly and may become mushy.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If you overcook the pasta, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use a good quality oil that has a fruity flavor. You can also use other types of oil, such as avocado oil or grapeseed oil, but olive oil is the traditional choice.
  • Add the basil at the end: Basil is a delicate herb that can easily be overpowered by other flavors, so it is best to add it at the end of the cooking process. This will allow the basil to retain its flavor and عطر.

Conclusion:

This tomato basil and garlic pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The combination of fresh tomatoes, basil, and garlic is a classic Italian flavor combination that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve this pasta with a side salad and a glass of wine for a complete meal.
