Categories     Dinner

Time 15m

2 Tbsps. olive oil
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
1/2 tsp salt & pepper Smell & Taste
1/4 tsp paprika seasoning Smell & Taste
150 grams cooked chicken pieces
1/2 tsp 13 spice chicken seasoning Smell & Taste
2 Tbsps. homemade basil pesto
200 grams angel hair pasta

Steps:

  • Season the sliced cherry tomatoes with salt & pepper and paprika seasoning from our Smell and Taste Range.
  • Cook till the tomato are bursting with flavor and juices, about 3 minutes
  • Move the tomatoes to one side of the pan (so as not to press them down completely) and add the cut chicken pieces. Season the chicken pieces with the same spices and add a tiny drizzle of olive oil if necessary about 1/2 teaspoon.
  • Combine and let it cook for about minute with the tomatoes. Add the homemade basil pesto.
  • Add the cooked angel pasta and enjoy!
  • Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon, a dollop of yogurt, sour cream and fresh herbs.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH PEPPERS AND TOMATOES



Angel Hair Pasta With Peppers and Tomatoes image

This simple pasta celebrates the end-of-summer harvest and is perfect for a light lunch or supper, or as part of a buffet. Bell peppers and other sweet peppers - like Corno di Toro and many other varieties of peppers of every hue - ripen in late summer, the same time as long-awaited flavorful (and multicolored) tomatoes, making their pairing seem almost preordained.

ANGEL HAIR WITH BALSAMIC TOMATOES



Angel Hair with Balsamic Tomatoes image

This tastes like something I once had at Olive Garden, except I think they made it with fresh tomatoes. That limits it to a seasonal dish, since winter tomatoes, frankly, stink. Since this recipe uses canned tomatoes, you can feel gourmet at anytime. It goes together pretty quickly, especially after the first time you prepare it.

Provided by ThatBobbieGirl

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons dried basil, crushed (or twice the amount of fresh)
1 lb angel hair pasta, uncooked
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Open the can of tomatoes.
  • Do not drain, but dump the whole thing in a non-metallic bowl.
  • Stir in the balsamic vinegar, black pepper, basil, and salt if you really think you need it.
  • Most canned tomatoes have enough salt for this, and if you're using no-salt tomatoes, its probably because you're not SUPPOSED to have the salt.
  • So drop the salt shaker, buddy.
  • Let the tomatoes, et al, stand about 10 minutes.
  • Sauté garlic in olive oil until translucent.
  • Do not brown.
  • Remove skillet from the burner, leaving garlic and oil in pan.
  • Set aside.
  • If you haven't already, put on a pot of water to boil for the pasta.
  • A big pot, so it has lots of elbow room.
  • People should stick together, not pasta.
  • Hmmm, that should be a commercial.
  • Drain the tomatoes, catching the juice in the skillet with the sauteed garlic.
  • Bring this to a boil and then simmer until the liquid is reduced by about 1/3.
  • It needs to do this in order to concentrate the flavors a bit.
  • While the liquid is reducing, drop the pasta into the boiling water, and cook according to package directions, just until al dente.
  • When the pasta is done, drain and keep hot if the sauce is not done yet.
  • Once the liquid has reduced enough, add the tomatoes, and heat briefly.
  • You want them to get HOT, not MUSHY.
  • Pour all this over the hot pasta and toss.
  • Serve immediately, nice and hot, passing parmesan to let everyone top their own.
  • This goes nicely with my Green Bean Compromise and a tossed salad with my Extremely Bad Breath Garlic& Green Olive Dressing, but serve what you like.
  • I won't mind.

Angel Hair with Avocado and Tomatoes is a delicious and healthy recipe that is perfect for summer. It is a simple dish that can be made in a short amount of time and is perfect for those who are looking for a healthy meal option. This dish is great for lunch or dinner and can be enjoyed by everyone. Here are some valuable tips to help you when making this dish.

Tip 1: Choose the right type of pasta

The first and most important tip is to choose the right type of pasta. Angel hair pasta is a great choice for this recipe as it is thin and delicate, which complements the soft and creamy texture of the avocado. Additionally, angel hair pasta cooks very quickly, which means that you can have this dish on the table in no time.

Tip 2: Use fresh ingredients

Using fresh ingredients is key when making this dish. Ripe avocados and juicy tomatoes will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Ensure that the avocados are ripe but not overripe. Overripe avocados will be mushy and will not taste as good. Similarly, use ripe but firm tomatoes to add a nice texture to the dish.

Tip 3: Add some spice

To give the dish a little bit of a kick, add some spice. You can use red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to add heat. Alternatively, you can use chopped jalapenos for a milder spice. Adding spice will give the dish depth and complexity, which will make it even more delicious.

Tip 4: Do not overcook the pasta

When cooking the pasta, it is important not to overcook it. Angel hair pasta takes only a few minutes to cook, so be sure to keep an eye on it. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and will not work well with the other ingredients in the dish. Cook the pasta until it is al dente, which means that it is cooked through but still has a little bit of bite to it.

Tip 5: Add the avocado at the end

To prevent the avocado from becoming mushy, it is important to add it at the end of the cooking process. Once the pasta is cooked and drained, toss it with the other ingredients in the dish. Then, add the chopped avocado and gently toss everything together. This will prevent the avocado from breaking down and becoming too soft.

Tip 6: Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice

To add a little bit of freshness and acidity to the dish, drizzle it with olive oil and lemon juice. This will help to bring all of the flavors together and will add a nice brightness to the dish. Use high-quality olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best results.

Tip 7: Customize to your liking

Finally, feel free to customize the dish to your liking. You can add some grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a more substantial meal, or you can add some fresh herbs like basil or cilantro to add extra flavor. Similarly, you can take out ingredients that you don't like or add more of the ones that you do. This dish is very versatile, so feel free to make it your own.
In conclusion
Angel Hair with Avocado and Tomatoes is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for summer. By following these valuable tips, you can make the perfect dish every time. Choose the right type of pasta, use fresh ingredients, add some spice, do not overcook the pasta, add the avocado at the end, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and customize to your liking. With these tips, you can make a dish that is both delicious and healthy.
