ANGEL HAIR WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds ripe on-the-vine tomatoes, finely chopped
1/4 cup good-quality olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
12 ounces angel hair pasta
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1/4 cup sliced basil

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.

Provided by Food Network

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.

ANGEL-HAIR PASTA WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE



Angel-Hair Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce image

Provided by Ian Knauer

Categories     Garlic     Pasta     Tomato     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Lemon     Basil     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small garlic clove
3 lb tomatoes
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb dried capellini (angel-hair pasta)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
Accompaniments: finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling (optional)

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 ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your sauce will be.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. If you don't have time to roast the tomatoes, you can also use sun-dried tomatoes or canned tomatoes.
  • Use fresh basil: Fresh basil is essential for this recipe. It adds a bright, aromatic flavor that perfectly complements the tomatoes. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Angel hair pasta cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook it for the amount of time specified on the package, or until it is al dente, which means "to the tooth" in Italian. Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and has a chewy texture.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This angel hair pasta with tomato and basil is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is made with simple, fresh ingredients and is packed with flavor. The roasted tomatoes give the sauce a slightly smoky taste, and the fresh basil adds a bright, aromatic flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
