This paste is great for putting on or in meat and pastas, or with cottage cheese in stuffed pasta shells. Once I start making this, the orders from friends and family keep coming in. For best taste, pesto should be heated up in the meal it's being prepared with.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH SIMPLE GARLIC & BASIL



Angel Hair Pasta With Simple Garlic & Basil image

I adore angel hair pasta, and such a fine pasta doesn't always need a big sauce. Serve with some kind of cheese or "cheez" if you wish, sprinkled on top. My children like it with sliced olives. There are many versions of this simple recipe, this one I adapted from www.cookingnook.com. This would probably be good for 4 as a side dish or 4 for lunch with a salad.

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 35m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 lemon, juice of
1 tomatoes, diced
sea salt, to taste
8 ounces angel hair pasta
1/4 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil over high heat.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil up a large saute pan over medium heat. Once warm add the garlic and cook until it just begins to brown -- too long or too high and the garlic will burn.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and deglaze by pouring in the wine. Return the pan to the heat and cook for a few minutes. The wine should reduce by about half. Add in lemon juice, chopped tomato, and sea salt to taste. Stir once or twice then remove the pan from the heat again and set it aside to wait for the pasta.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until desired tenderness, following package directions. Drain, then add the cooked pasta to the pan with the garlic & tomato mixture, along with the basil and some freshly ground pepper. Toss well, (if your pan isn't big enough, just do the tossing in a large serving bowl).
  • *Tip: 4 ounces of uncooked pasta (spaghetti, angel hair, vermicelli, fettuccine or linguine) = a 1-inch diameter bunch of dry pasta = 2 cups cooked pasta. Generally they say 2 ounces of pasta is one serving, but for larger appetites this might not be enough.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Be careful not to burn the garlic or basil, as this will make the oil bitter.
  • Allow the oil to cool completely before using, as this will help the flavors to meld.
  • Store the oil in a cool, dark place for up to 2 weeks.
  • Use the oil to drizzle over pasta, grilled vegetables, or salads.
  • You can also use the oil to make a simple vinaigrette dressing.

Conclusion:

Garlic basil oil is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be stored for up to 2 weeks. With its bold flavor and fragrant aroma, garlic basil oil is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
