Title: Pasta Dressed with Tomato Basil Sauce
Categories: Pasta Vegetable
Yield: 6 Servings
| 3/4 | lb | Angel hair pasta |
| 1/2 | c | Extra-virgin Olive Oil |
| 6 | cl | Garlic, minced |
| 6 | lg | Tomatoes, diced |
| 2 | tb | Basil, chopped, fresh |
| 1/2 | c | Parmesan cheese, grated |
Cook the pasta according to package directions (or better yet, make
fresh, and cook) to al dente. Drain. Add 1 T. of the olive oil and mix
gently to coat. Meanwhile, saute half the garlic in a large skillet using
2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Cook over medium heat for about one
minute, then add diced tomatoes and the basil. Bring to a boil, reduce
heat, and simmer for about 40 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.
In a separate pan, saute the remaining garlic in the remaining olive
oil. Cook for about one minute. Add the pasta and toss over medium high
heat until heated through. Sprinkle with cheese and toss to blend. Serve
immediately, topped with tomato sauce.
