20 MINUTE CHERRY TOMATO AND BASIL ANGEL HAIR PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
• Add in a good handful of salt. Add pasta. Cook aldente or until pasta is slightly undercooked.
• Using tongs remove pasta from water into a colander. Reserve cooking liquid.
• While pasta is cooking, add garlic and olive oil to a very large skillet.
• Turn the heat on medium and cook until garlic becomes soft, about two minutes.
• Turn the heat to a medium-high and add tomatoes and salt. Cook two minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup of starchy cooking liquid leftover from pasta. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce to a simmer for five minutes - the tomatoes should be starting to burst. If they haven't gently push on them using the back of a wooden spoon. You only want about half to burst.
• Add pasta, cook another two minutes.
• Turn the heat off, add basil and parmesan cheese.
• Toss to coat.
• If needed add more starchy pasta water.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Serve with extra grated parmesan cheese.

ANGEL HAIR WITH BALSAMIC TOMATOES

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.
