Capellini Pomodoro

Here is one of my favorite, simple pastas. Oh so fresh and light and YUMMY!
Capellini PomodoroPosted by Picasa
2 cloves garlic – minced
2 pounds Roma tomatoes – diced
1 ounce fresh basil leaves – minced
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3-oz Parmesan cheese
12-oz angel hair pasta
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
¼ tsp pepper

Chop vegetables. Cook pasta in lightly salted boiling water. Set aside when it is done (follow package instructions). Heat olive oil and add garlic in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook it until it turns white. Add tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and pepper and heat through, stirring constantly for about 2-3 minutes. Tomatoes should not lose their shape. Remove from heat. Transfer hot cooked pasta to a large bowl. Toss pasta gently with tomato mixture, basil, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and top individual portions with remaining Parmesan.
