Years ago, an Italian restaurant served a dish called capellini pomodoro which I ordered often, sometimes adding grilled chicken or shrimp to the pasta. This is my own quick version.

Categories     Pasta by Shape

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ pounds Roma tomatoes
1 pound capellini pasta
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 leaves basil, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water.
  • Score a shallow "x" in the bottom of the tomatoes. Add tomatoes to the boiling water and cook uncovered until skin starts to peel off, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Peel tomatoes.
  • Transfer peeled tomatoes to a food mill, and process until smooth.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, saving 1/4 cup of the pasta water for the sauce.
  • While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add garlic and salt and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add pureed tomatoes and as much pasta water as desired. Simmer until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide pasta amongst 4 serving bowls. Top with tomato sauce and sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Shrimp: Opt for fresh or frozen shrimp that are medium-sized and deveined. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them properly before cooking.
  • Cook Shrimp Perfectly: Don't overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they turn opaque and pink.
  • Use Quality Pasta: Choose a good quality pasta, preferably made from durum wheat. Capellini, also known as angel hair pasta, works particularly well for this dish.
  • Make a Flavorful Sauce: Use a combination of diced tomatoes, garlic, onion, and herbs to create a flavorful and aromatic sauce.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the shrimp and vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. Cook them in batches if necessary to prevent steaming.
  • Add Cream at the End: Stir in the cream towards the end of cooking to prevent it from curdling.
  • Season to Taste: Always taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices to your preference.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for an extra touch of flavor and color.
