How To Cook Angel Hair With Balsamic Tomatoes

Ingredients :

• 1 teaspoon minced garlic 
• 1 teaspoon olive oil 
• 5 to 6 Roma tomatoes, chopped, (28-ounce. can plum tomatoes) 
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar salt & pepper to taste 
• 1/4 Cup chopped fresh basil 1/2 Pound angel hair pasta, (uncooked)
• Saute the garlic in olive oil until lightly browned. 
• Do this in a skillet large enough to hold the tomatoes later. 
• Leave garlic in skillet.
• Place tomatoes, salt & pepper, basil and balsamic vinegar in a non-reactive bowl and set aside for 10 minutes, stirring occassionally.
• Boil water for pasta.

How To Cook Angel Hair :

• Just before you put the pasta in the water, drain tomatoes and reserve the juice that runs off. (I usually set my colander on a dinner plate). Put the angel hair pasta in the water to cook for the recommended amount of time.
• Heat your garlic skillet and toss drained tomatoes briefly just to heat. They should retain their shape. The pasta should finish cooking (usually no more than 5 minutes for angel hair) at the same time the tomatoes are ready.
• Toss the pasta and tomato mixture together and serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

 Enjoy ....!
