Tomato and Garlic Pasta Recipes
Ingredients
-
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
-
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
-
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.
