ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH LEMON, GARLIC AND TOMATOES
Served with a fresh salad, I think this is a perfect summer weekday meal. It comes together very fast if you prepare all the ingredients beforehand. (note: typo in wine amount has been corrected - 1/4 cup, not 1 1/4 cup - yowza, that'd be a lot of wine!)

Steps:
- Cook the pasta in several quarts of salted water (keep an eye on it - angel hair cooks a lot faster than other pasta and you don't want it mushy). Place it in a large serving bowl, add the basil and Parmesan cheese and toss to mix.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet and saute the garlic for a minute or so until it *just* begins to change color. Add the wine and cook until it has been reduced by about half (2-4 minutes). Stir in the lemon juice and tomatoes and remove the sauce from heat until the pasta is ready.
- Pour lemon-tomato sauce over pasta mixture, add salt and pepper to taste and toss to mix. Serve with extra Parmesan on the side, if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best results. Roma tomatoes are a good choice, as they are meaty and have a low water content.
- Cook the tomatoes properly: Don't overcook the tomatoes, or they will become mushy. Cook them just until they are softened and slightly caramelized.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe. It has a rich flavor that will complement the tomatoes and lemon.
- Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh basil or oregano are both good choices for garnishing this dish. They will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
This linguine with lemon tomatoes is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The combination of sweet tomatoes, tangy lemon, and salty Parmesan cheese is irresistible. Serve it with a side salad and a glass of white wine for a delicious and satisfying meal.
