TOMATO AND GARLIC PASTA



Tomato and Garlic Pasta image

There is nothing nicer than the flavor of fresh tomatoes. You can use canned, but the trouble you take to prepare this dish is worth it. You prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking, no long hours of waiting. Great if you want meatless pasta.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta
2 pounds tomatoes
4 cloves crushed garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon tomato paste
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Place tomatoes in a kettle, and cover with cold water. Bring just to the boil. Pour off water, and cover again with cold water. Peel. Cut into small pieces.
  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
  • In a large skillet or saute pan, saute the garlic in enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. The garlic should just become opaque, not brown. Stir in the tomato paste. Immediately stir in the tomatoes, and salt and pepper. Reduce heat, and simmer until the pasta is ready; add the basil.
  • Drain the pasta, but do not rinse in cold water. Toss with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, and then mix into the sauce. Reduce the heat as low as possible. Keep warm, uncovered, for about 10 minutes when it is ready to serve. Garnish generously with fresh Parmesan cheese.
  • VARIATIONS: Saute fresh quartered mushrooms with the garlic, or add shoestring zucchini along with the tomato.

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.

Spaghetti with Tomatoes and Garlic-Basil Oil image

No reservations required! Our spaghetti with tomatoes and garlic-basil oil dish was inspired by a famous New York City restaurant. It's the perfect meal for two and ready in only 25 minutes.

Provided by By Inspired Taste

Categories     Entree

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 oz uncooked spaghetti
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes, undrained
Salt to taste
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, if desired

Steps:

  • In 4-quart Dutch oven, cook spaghetti as directed on package.

  • Divide spaghetti into 2 individual pasta bowls. Drizzle each serving with warm oil; sprinkle with cheese.

Nutrition Facts : ServingSize 1 Serving

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and tastier your ingredients, the better your pasta dish will be. Choose ripe tomatoes, fragrant basil, and good-quality olive oil.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the garlic and tomatoes, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly and will make the dish watery.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture of cooked pasta. Pasta that is cooked al dente is slightly firm to the bite and has a slight chewiness to it.
  • Don't rinse the pasta: Rinsing the pasta after cooking will remove the starch from the surface of the pasta, which is what helps the sauce adhere to it. If you must rinse the pasta, do so briefly with cold water.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce: When combining the pasta with the sauce, add the pasta to the sauce rather than the other way around. This will help prevent the sauce from becoming too diluted.
  • Serve immediately: Pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will prevent the pasta from becoming soggy and will allow you to enjoy it at its best.

Conclusion:

Pasta with garlic, tomato, and basil is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and delicious to eat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
