This can be made using either fresh or canned tomatoes, and how I make it depends on how busy of a day I’m having, but both ways are just delicious.

Capellini Pomodoro

Ingredients

4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) good quality diced tomatoes (slightly drained), or about 2 pounds fresh, peeled and diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 oz package of fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
16 ounces dry angel hair pasta, cooked
26 oz. jar of sweet basil marinara sauce

Directions

1. Heat olive oil in frying pan. (Nonstick is best if you have one.) Add garlic; cook until slightly browned on edges.

2. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper. Heat through, stirring constantly, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat.

    Okay I didn’t think I was even hungry until I read this post! Looks so good and sounds so simple to make too! Definitely going to have to try this… though I wonder if my non-sauce kid Lucas will like it.

    OK Liz, now you’ve done it. I’m on a no (or low) carb diet and that’s my FAVORITE, FAVORITE dish. Stupid weight loss….I may actually take a day off from dieting the end of next week and treat myself. Otherwise I’ll go nuts (LOW CARBS…blech).

    My kids would love that…I like that I don’t have to add hamburger like spaghetti. This is going in my “to make” file! 🙂

    Oh yum. I’m looking at that yummy garlic and thinking I need to make sure everyone is home for dinner that night. Garlic is always better when EVERYONE in the house eats it, then they don’t notice your garlic breath. 😉

    Hmm that looks so good, I want to use my herbs more in recipes with pasta, I have a ton of basil. I have been a fan of Ragu for ever and still turn to that brand.
