Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Put the tomatoes in a large bowl. Heat the olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat until the garlic is translucent, but not at all browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes, then pour the garlic oil over the tomatoes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and toss to coat.
- Cook the pasta according to package directions. Transfer the pasta directly from the boiling water to the bowl with the tomatoes using a pasta fork or tongs. Sprinkle in the Parmesan and some of the basil and toss to coat; let stand 5 minutes so that the sauce absorbs slightly. Top with the remaining basil and a little additional olive oil and serve with additional Parmesan.

- 3. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, and spices and whisk together well. Add sausage to mix and simmer for about 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Set oven to 475
- Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise.
- On a large sheet pan, lay tomatoes cut side up.
- Cut sausage links into 1/2 inch slices on the bias. Place on the same pan, but keep sausage slices all together. (We want to be able to remove the sausage easily before putting tomatoes in food processor)
- Scatter garlic, onion slices, and basil on the pan with the tomatoes. Sprinkle the kosher salt & crushed red pepper over all of the ingredients.
- Drizzle the olive oil over everything, more or less to taste. I like to get a little olive oil on each tomato half.
- Place in heated oven for 45-50 minutes.
- About 15 minutes before sauce is done, start cooking the angel hair pasta. Angel hair cooks very fast, so keep an eye on it. When done, drain and drizzle with olive oil so it doesn't stick together.
- Back to the sauce!
- When tomatoes begin to 'roast' or turn black, it should be done. Smash a garlic clove if unsure. If soft, it's done.
- Remove from the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Remove sausage slices and set aside. Throw the remaining ingredients in a food processor and pulse until desired consistency. A blender can be used, but should be done in small batches and for only a few seconds on 'chop' setting.
- Pour the pasta into a large pretty bowl, drizzle again with a little olive oil if desired. Add the sausage. After processing the tomato mixture, pour over the sausage and pasta.
- Sprinkle with fresh grated parmesan.
- Garnish with a sprig of basil.
- Serve with a salad and french bread. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large skillet, warm the olive oil and garlic over medium heat. Add a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons water. Simmer until the water cooks out and the garlic becomes tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste with 2 more tablespoons water and cook to "fry" the paste for a minute in the oil, stirring. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook over medium heat until they soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cream. Season with salt to taste. Keep warm.
- In a large pot, bring 4 quarts water to a rolling boil. Add a generous handful of salt. Bring the water back up to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring with a slotted spoon to make sure it does not clump or stick to the bottom, until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid and drain the pasta in a large colander.
- Add the hot pasta right from the colander to the skillet and toss to coat with the cream. Shut the heat off and allow the pasta to rest for 2 minutes. If too thin, gently warm and reduce over low heat for 1 to 2 additional minutes. If it becomes too thick, simply thin it out with some of the reserved pasta cooking liquid. Serve topped with the cheese.
DELICIOUS ANGEL HAIR IN TOMATO, TUNA AND OLIVE SAUCE
You'll love this blend of tomatoes, tuna and black olives in a homemade tomato sauce. My mom would make this during Lent for the family, but you'll want to make it all year round. My husband (who hates tuna), raves about this dish. It's different and very delicious. Tastes even better heated the next day. Serve with some garlic bread and a salad and you have a complete dinner.

Steps:
- Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife.
- Core and coarsely chop two thirds of tomatoes. Halve remaining tomatoes crosswise, then rub cut sides of tomatoes against large holes of a box grater set in a large bowl, reserving pulp and discarding skin. Toss pulp with chopped tomatoes, garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, sugar (if using), and pepper. Let stand until ready to use, at least 10 minutes.
- While tomatoes stand, cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until al dente, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately add to tomato mixture, tossing to combine. Sprinkle with basil.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes, good quality Italian sausage, and a flavorful pasta sauce.
- Cook the sausage properly: Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until it is cooked through. Do not overcrowd the skillet, or the sausage will not brown properly.
- Use a good pasta sauce: You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you are using a store-bought sauce, choose one that is flavorful and has a good balance of acidity and sweetness.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Do not overcook the pasta, or it will become mushy.
- Garnish the dish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, or oregano add a nice flavor and color to the dish.
Conclusion:
Angel hair pasta with Italian sausage and tomato sauce is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. The combination of flavors and textures is delicious, and the dish is sure to become a family favorite. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
