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.
  • Cook the angel hair pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Add the Parmesan and basil and toss well. Place in a large pasta bowl and garnish with Parmesan and basil sprigs.

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.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     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.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will make all the difference in the taste of your sauce.
  • Roast your tomatoes before adding them to the sauce. This will concentrate their flavor and make them even more delicious.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when you're cooking the pasta. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce, not the other way around. This will help the pasta absorb all of the delicious flavors of the sauce.
  • Stir the pasta frequently while it's cooking. This will prevent it from sticking together.
  • Don't rinse the pasta after it's cooked. This will remove the starch from the pasta, which will make it less flavorful.
  • Garnish the pasta with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This tomato basil and garlic pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
