Cappellini Pomodoro from my kitchen to yours,

Tonight’s pasta with diced tomato sauce.  4/1/2024

I sautéed a generous amount of  olive oil and (2) minced garlic on low heat in a medium pot until garlic was sizzling.  Watching not to burn garlic.

 I then added one(1 can) 15 oz. diced petite tomatoes with juice.

Simmer of low until juice starts to get slightly absorbed.

Add salt, pepper and basil while simmering.

Cook about 1/2 lb. Pasta  according to directions( reserve a little pasta water if you need to thin the pasta )then drain pasta and add to tomato sauce.  Garnish with pecorino!

Good Morning:). It's Wednesday and the skies are beautiful.  At the moment I see the sun perking through the trees . 

We will be seeing some family we haven't seen in years Sunday. 

  Hope your week is fantastic! I've been thinking of making some Cappellini  Pomodoro for sometime and I bought the cherry tomatoes yesterday so at the moment that's going to be dinner.

This is an easy recipe you may want to jot down. In a medium skillet on low heat place approx. 1/2 cup olive oil, approx. 3 cloves garlic sliced thin.

Saute slowly so as not to add burn for a few minutes or until you smell the aroma of garlic.  Add the halved tomatoes and sauté until they have softened.

In a separate pot boil approximately 3/4 lb. Cappellini pasta in salted water. Cook until tender. Drain reserving a slight amount of water. Set aside.

Finally Add cooked pasta to garlic tomato mixture some salt and pepper and grated cheese.  Toss and sprinkle with more pecorino romano cheese. 

Note:  add some pasta water if needed to thin.

 Yum!

A  note.  I couldn’t have said it better.  Thanx google!

***WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

• Letting the tomato mixture sit briefly after seasoning allows salt to draw out moisture from the tomatoes to help build the sauce and allows the aromas of the garlic and basil to infuse the olive oil.
• Ripe summer tomatoes are the name of the game here: This pasta will only be as good as the tomatoes you use.
