ANGEL HAIR WITH TOMATOES & BASIL image

A very, very simple recipe I found on a pasta box that has got to be delicious and also "tweakable." A good one for those nights when you're rushed. Photo source: http://www.bettycrocker.com

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 oz angel hair pasta
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 clove garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder)
2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped (or 1 tbsp. dried)
1 can(s) (14.5 oz.) petite diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 c shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain.
  • 2. While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until golden, about 1 minute. Stir in basil and tomatoes. Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  • 3. Toss pasta with tomato mixture; sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste; serve while hot.
  • 4. You could add meat to this dish if desired, onion, peppers, other spices--any number of things--to dress it up and if you have time.
