Categories     main-dish

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
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 oregano sprig
Pinch chili flakes
1 teaspoon sugar
1 pound dried angel hair pasta
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup chiffonade basil, plus whole sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice water bath. Cut a small "x" on the bottom of each tomato. In batches, place the tomatoes in the boiling water and blanch them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the skins are easy to peel away. Remove and immediately plunge into the ice bath. Peel the tomatoes and halve horizontally. Squeeze out the seeds, using your fingers to get them all. Roughly chop the peeled and seeded tomatoes. Set aside. (You can also use whole peeled canned tomatoes. Simply drain them, seed, and roughly chop).
  • 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. Lower the heat and cook slowly until the mixture is fairly dry, about 15 minutes.
  • Cook the angel hair pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Add the Parmesan and basil and toss well. Place in a large pasta bowl and garnish with Parmesan and basil sprigs.

With your hands, crush the tomatoes until chunky. Add the garlic-sugar paste and oil and crush the tomatoes into fine bits.
  • 4. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until just al dente. Drain and transfer to the tomato sauce. Toss well. Tear the basil leaves into the bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss again.

ANGEL-HAIR PASTA WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE



Angel-Hair Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce image

Provided by Ian Knauer

Categories     Garlic     Pasta     Tomato     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Lemon     Basil     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small garlic clove
3 lb tomatoes
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb dried capellini (angel-hair pasta)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
Accompaniments: finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling (optional)

Steps:

  • Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife.
  • Core and coarsely chop two thirds of tomatoes. Halve remaining tomatoes crosswise, then rub cut sides of tomatoes against large holes of a box grater set in a large bowl, reserving pulp and discarding skin. Toss pulp with chopped tomatoes, garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, sugar (if using), and pepper. Let stand until ready to use, at least 10 minutes.
  • While tomatoes stand, cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until al dente, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately add to tomato mixture, tossing to combine. Sprinkle with basil.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The freshness of the ingredients greatly influences the taste of the dish. Use ripe tomatoes, fragrant basil, and aromatic garlic for the best results.
  • Choose High-Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil adds depth of flavor to the dish. Make sure to use a good quality oil that is flavorful and not rancid.
  • Don't Overcook the Pasta: Angel hair pasta cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook it al dente, or slightly firm to the bite, for the perfect texture.
  • Add the Tomatoes at the End: Adding the tomatoes towards the end of the cooking process helps preserve their fresh flavor and vibrant color.
  • Season to Taste: Always taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasoning accordingly. Add more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes to your preference.

Conclusion:

Angel hair pasta with tomatoes, basil, and garlic is a simple yet flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With just a few fresh ingredients and pantry staples, you can have a delicious and satisfying pasta dish on the table in no time. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
