Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook to al dente.
• While pasta is cooking, drain tomatoes into a sieve set over a large bowl. Open one end of each tomato, squeezing the seeds into the sieve. Squeeze the remaining pulp into mush with your hand and place in a second bowl. Once all the tomatoes have been deseeded and squished, discard the contents of the sieve.
• Place a large saute pan over medium heat. Add olive oil. When shimmering, add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomato pulp and cook 1-2 minutes until pulp breaks down and releases juices. Remove pulp back to bowl with slotted spoon.
• Add juices from the other bowl to the pan. Bring to a boil and cook until juices thicken, 2-4 minutes. It's ready when your spatula leaves bare metal when swiped through the liquid. Add balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Return pulp to pan and taste for seasoning. Add another drop of olive oil for freshness.
• When pasta is cooked, transfer from boiling water to tomato sauce. Cook briefly, tossing to coat. Serve in heated bowls, topped with basil.

SIMPLE ONE-SKILLET CHICKEN ALFREDO PASTA

Steps:

• Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
• Melt the butter in a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, in batches if necessary, and sauté until nicely browned on the outside, but still a bit pink inside, about 4 minutes (the pieces don't have to be browned on all sides; two sides is fine). Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
• Do not clean the pan! Those brown bits on the bottom of the pan are going to add flavor to the sauce. Add the garlic to the pan and sauté over medium heat until you can smell it, 30 seconds. Turn the heat to high, add the chicken broth, and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen up all of those delicious caramelized bits. Bring to a simmer, lower to medium heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the pasta, stir well, and simmer until the pasta starts to soften, about 8 minutes. Stir in the warm cream and the browned chicken with any juices that have accumulated on the plate. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender, most of the liquid has been absorbed, and the chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes more.
• Stir in the Parmesan until well incorporated, and adjust the seasonings.
• Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the parsley, if desired. Serve hot and pass extra Parmesan at the table.
• Alfredo Add-Ins
• When you add the Parmesan in Step 4, you can add any of the following to the pot, alone or in combination; stir over medium heat for another minute or two. 1 tablespoon puréed chipotles in adobo sauce 4 cups sliced mushrooms, sautéed 3 cups lightly cooked tiny broccoli florets 2 tablespoons fresh herbs, such as oregano, thyme, or parsley Or, you can serve up portions of Chicken Alfredo Pasta for those who like it plain and simple, and add proportionate amounts of any of the add-ins to the pot.
• Make Ahead
• While it's certainly reasonable to thrill over a meal of reheated leftover Alfredo pasta, either warmed on the stovetop or in the microwave, this dish is best when it's made just before serving.
