Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice water bath. Cut a small "x" on the bottom of each tomato. In batches, place the tomatoes in the boiling water and blanch them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the skins are easy to peel away. Remove and immediately plunge into the ice bath. Peel the tomatoes and halve horizontally. Squeeze out the seeds, using your fingers to get them all. Roughly chop the peeled and seeded tomatoes. Set aside. (You can also use whole peeled canned tomatoes. Simply drain them, seed, and roughly chop).
- Heat a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add the thyme leaves, oregano sprig, and chili flakes and saute until the garlic begins to turn golden brown. Add the tomatoes and the sugar and stir well. Lower the heat and cook slowly until the mixture is fairly dry, about 15 minutes.
- Cook the angel hair pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Add the Parmesan and basil and toss well. Place in a large pasta bowl and garnish with Parmesan and basil sprigs.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Put the tomatoes in a large bowl. Heat the olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat until the garlic is translucent, but not at all browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes, then pour the garlic oil over the tomatoes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and toss to coat.
- Cook the pasta according to package directions. Transfer the pasta directly from the boiling water to the bowl with the tomatoes using a pasta fork or tongs. Sprinkle in the Parmesan and some of the basil and toss to coat; let stand 5 minutes so that the sauce absorbs slightly. Top with the remaining basil and a little additional olive oil and serve with additional Parmesan.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH BASIL-TOMATO SAUCE (AND CHICKEN)
Delicious and relatively healthy & light pasta dish. This is modified from "The Low Fat Good Food Cookbook," which in turn modified from a restaurant, Villa Romano, in Nashville, TN. I have added grilled chicken to it - to make it into a main course, but you can try it without or with some other sort of meat...

It's a wonderful way to satisfy your cravings for a hearty and comforting meal that has a refreshing burst of flavor.
History of Angel Hair Pasta
The history of angel hair pasta can be traced back to Italy, where it is known as Capellini. The name Capellini means "little hairs," which accurately describes the thin and delicate texture of this pasta. It's a type of pasta that is typically made with semolina flour, which is a hard wheat flour that makes the pasta more firm and resilient. Angel hair pasta has a delicate flavor and a silky, smooth texture that pairs well with light sauces or broths.
Ingredients
The basic ingredients required to make angel hair pasta with basil tomato sauce and chicken include:
Pasta:
- Angel hair pasta
- Salt
- Water
Sauce:
- Tomatoes (diced or crushed)
- Garlic (minced)
- Onion (finely chopped)
- Olive oil
- Basil (freshly chopped)
- Salt and pepper
Chicken:
- Chicken breast (cut into small pieces)
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
Preparation
Before making the angel hair pasta with basil tomato sauce and chicken, you'll need to prepare the pasta, sauce, and chicken separately. Start by boiling a pot of water with a pinch of salt and add the angel hair pasta. Cook the pasta according to the package directions until it is al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
To prepare the sauce, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and finely chopped onion and sauté until they become soft and golden brown. Add the diced or crushed tomatoes and stir well. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, and add the freshly chopped basil leaves. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes until it becomes thick and flavorful.
For the chicken, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook the chicken until it becomes golden brown and tender, this typically takes 8 to 10 minutes.
Assembly
To serve the angel hair pasta with basil tomato sauce and chicken, place a portion of cooked pasta on a plate. Ladle the tomato sauce over the pasta and top it with pieces of cooked chicken. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese if desired.
Variations
There are endless variations that you can make with angel hair pasta and different sauces to add more diversity to this classic dish. Here are a few ideas to inspire you:
Shrimp:
You can substitute the chicken with shrimp to create a seafood-inspired pasta dish.
Vegan:
For a vegan version of this pasta dish, omit the chicken and add sautéd mushrooms, bell peppers, and sundried tomatoes as alternative protein sources. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth to make the sauce.
Spicy:
If you prefer your pasta to have a little kick, add a teaspoon of red chili flakes to the sauce or use a spicy marinara sauce instead. For protein, use Italian sausage instead of chicken.
