This is one of the quickest pasta dishes you can make. I started making this dish inspired by a simple pasta dish from Olive Garden (think it's called Capellini Pomodoro). It's made with angel hair pasta, and has a lot of tomatoes and is quite runny. I don't like it as runny, so have made it less so, and have added crushed pepper.
Ingredients:
Method:
Boil the water to cook pasta, and cook pasta according to package directions.While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Don't let it get smoking hot or you will burn the garlic.Toss the minced garlic in and saute. Don't let it burn or it will be bitter.Add the crushed pepper or chili powder, torn leaves of basil, tomatoes, salt and saute.When the oil starts to separate, add the cooked pasta. At this time, turn the heat off, and toss everything together.
Add the grated cheese, and garnish with more fresh basil.
Serve Eat with a green salad, and a tall cold glass of milk.
Enjoy!
