ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH SIMPLE GARLIC & BASIL
I adore angel hair pasta, and such a fine pasta doesn't always need a big sauce. Serve with some kind of cheese or "cheez" if you wish, sprinkled on top. My children like it with sliced olives. There are many versions of this simple recipe, this one I adapted from www.cookingnook.com. This would probably be good for 4 as a side dish or 4 for lunch with a salad.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil up a large saute pan over medium heat. Once warm add the garlic and cook until it just begins to brown -- too long or too high and the garlic will burn.
- Remove the pan from the heat and deglaze by pouring in the wine. Return the pan to the heat and cook for a few minutes. The wine should reduce by about half. Add in lemon juice, chopped tomato, and sea salt to taste. Stir once or twice then remove the pan from the heat again and set it aside to wait for the pasta.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until desired tenderness, following package directions. Drain, then add the cooked pasta to the pan with the garlic & tomato mixture, along with the basil and some freshly ground pepper. Toss well, (if your pan isn't big enough, just do the tossing in a large serving bowl).
- *Tip: 4 ounces of uncooked pasta (spaghetti, angel hair, vermicelli, fettuccine or linguine) = a 1-inch diameter bunch of dry pasta = 2 cups cooked pasta. Generally they say 2 ounces of pasta is one serving, but for larger appetites this might not be enough.
ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH ROASTED GARLIC
I got this recipe from the Kraft website, and it's a very good basic pasta recipe, especially if you like garlic (as we do!). To serve piping hot, you can time the cooking steps so that the pasta is cooking and the vegetables are sautéing during the last portion of time that the garlic is roasting in the oven.

Steps:
- Lightly spray each head of garlic with cooking spray. Wrap each garlic head separately in foil. Place garlic in a small baking pan. Bake at 400° for 45 minutes. Cool 10 minutes.
- Separate garlic cloves. Squeeze cloves to extract the pulp; discard peels.
- Place garlic pulp, mustard, lemon juice and pepper in food processor or blender container; cover. Process until pureed; set aside. (I have also done this by hand once while we were in the process of moving and I couldn't find my food processor, and it worked just fine. It's tedious, but it does work out OK.).
- Cook and stir zucchini and mushrooms in hot oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat for 3 minutes or until zucchini is tender-crisp. Add the pureed garlic mixture, water and tomato; mix well. Reduce heat to low; cook until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently.
- Toss the vegetable mixture with hot cooked pasta, and serve while still warm.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the olive oil and garlic. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when roasting the garlic. Give the cloves enough space so that they can roast evenly and develop a deep golden brown color.
- Be careful not to burn the garlic. Keep an eye on it while it's roasting and remove it from the oven as soon as it's done.
- Use a microplane grater to grate the roasted garlic. This will help to release its flavor and aroma.
- Add the roasted garlic to the pasta water a few minutes before the pasta is done cooking. This will help to infuse the pasta with the garlic flavor.
- Reserve some of the pasta water before draining the pasta. You can use this to adjust the consistency of the sauce, if necessary.
- Serve the pasta immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
