Time 48m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds ripe tomatoes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 oregano sprig
Pinch chili flakes

  • Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add the thyme leaves, oregano sprig, and chili flakes and saute until the garlic begins to turn golden brown. Add the tomatoes and the sugar and stir well.

  • Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocado, the creamier and more flavorful your sauce will be.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Angel hair pasta cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. It should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh basil and parsley add a bright, herbaceous flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy food, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil to this dish.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the avocado is still creamy.
