~ Cappelini With Tomatoes & Basil ~
I love pasta (click here to see last weeks pasta salad)! It’s affordable, quick to make and there’s a ton of ways to add a different flavor to them. We tend to eat pasta once or twice a week, so its pretty easy to burn out on some recipes. This week I decided to try out a simple cappelini with tomato and basil. This meal only takes 20 minutes to prepare and cook and it cost under $15.
Ingredients:
1 cup of olive oil
4 tablespoons minced garlic
6 pints of sliced cherry tomatoes
18 large basil leaves chopped into small bite size pieces
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound of angel hair pasta
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Prep:
Cook pasta according to the directions on the package
While pasta is cooking heat olive oil in a large pan. Add the garlic to the oil and stir over medium heat for about a minute. Add the tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring until tomatoes get soft. When the tomatoes are soft press down and let juices run and stir for 30 seconds.
Place pasta in pan and toss. **a large mixing bowl works just as well
When serving add extra basil and parmesan.
Never underestimate what you can make with few simple ingredients. What
is your go to easy weeknight dish?
