ANGEL HAIR WITH CRUSHED TOMATOES AND BASIL
Steps:
- 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and generously salt it.
- 2. Cut a slit in the stem end of each tomato. Gently lower the tomatoes into the boiling water. Boil until the skin peels back from the slits, about 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl. Keep the water boiling.
- 3. While the tomatoes cool, on a cutting board, finely mince the garlic with the sugar into a paste. Peel off and discard the tomato skins, then transfer the tomatoes to a large bowl. With your hands, crush the tomatoes until chunky. Add the garlic-sugar paste and oil and crush the tomatoes into fine bits.
- 4. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until just al dente. Drain and transfer to the tomato sauce. Toss well. Tear the basil leaves into the bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss again.
- 5. Wipe up any oil drips or tomato sauce splatters from the counter with Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes*.
- *Use as directed. For surfaces that may come in contact with food, a potable water rinse is required.

Steps:
- Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife.

Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the final dish. Choose ripe, in-season tomatoes that are sweet and juicy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the tomatoes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick.
- Cook the tomatoes until they're softened: Cook the tomatoes until they're softened and slightly caramelized. This will bring out their sweetness and flavor.
- Add fresh basil at the end: Fresh basil is the perfect finishing touch for this dish. Add it just before serving to preserve its delicate flavor.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if you let it sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Angel hair with tomatoes, basil, and garlic is a simple yet delicious dish that's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With just a few fresh ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying pasta dish that the whole family will love.
