Garlic and Tomato Pasta

Ingredients List

• 2 pounds tomatoes

• 1 (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta

• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

• 4 cloves crushed garlic

• 1 tablespoon tomato paste

• salt to taste

• ground black pepper to taste

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Cooking Instructions

Start by placing the tomatoes in a large pot and covering them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then drain the water. Refill with cold water, peel the skins off the tomatoes, and chop them into small pieces.

In a separate pan, heat olive oil, ensuring the bottom is well-coated, and sauté the garlic until it becomes translucent, but not browned. Stir in tomato paste, then add in the tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer until the pasta is ready, adding the basil just before serving.

Drain the pasta without rinsing it with cold water. Toss it with a little olive oil, then stir it into the sauce.
