FRESH TOMATO PASTA
This is an extremely simple pasta recipe that I love to make when I don't really feel like cooking! I use rigatoni, but you can use whatever pasta you prefer. This is especially delicious with tomatoes fresh from your garden. Serve with garlic bread and a simple lettuce salad with Italian dressing.

PASTA, TOMATOES, VEGGIE BROTH, OLIVE OIL, AND SEASONINGS (DETAILS BELOW)
Steps:
- Place pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, in a large stock pot. Pour in vegetable broth. Sprinkle on top the pepper flakes and oregano. Drizzle top with oil. Cover pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low simmer and keep covered and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes or so. Cook until almost all liquid has evaporated - I left about an inch of liquid in the bottom of the pot - but you can reduce as desired . Season to taste with salt and pepper , stirring pasta several times to distribute the liquid in the bottom of the pot. Serve garnished with Parmesan cheese
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your sauce will be. If you can't find ripe tomatoes, you can roast them in the oven to concentrate their flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the sauce is still fresh.
Conclusion:
This pasta dish is a delicious and easy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. The sauce is simple to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it spicy, tangy, or sweet, this sauce is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this pasta dish a try.
