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.

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:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many tomatoes to the pan, they will steam instead of sautéing and you won't get a nice caramelized flavor.
  • Cook the tomatoes over medium heat: This will help them to caramelize and develop their flavor without burning.
  • Season the tomatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic: This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Add fresh basil at the end of cooking: This will give the dish a bright, fresh flavor.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the tomatoes are still hot and juicy.
