Angel-Hair Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce
This fresh pasta requires few ingredients, but is chock-full of flavour.
Ingredients (Serves 6)
| 1 | small garlic clove | |
| 3 lb | tomatoes | |
| 2 tbsp | fresh lemon juice | |
| 1 tsp | salt | |
| 1 tsp | sugar (optional) | |
| 1/2 tsp | black pepper | |
| 1 lb | dried capellini (angel-hair pasta) | |
| 1/2 cup | chopped fresh basil | |
| Parmesan, finely grated | ||
| Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling |
Instructions
- Put a large pot of salted water on to boil. Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife.
- Core and coarsely chop two-thirds of tomatoes. Halve remaining tomatoes crosswise, then rub cut sides against large holes of a box grater set in a large bowl, reserving pulp and discarding skin.
- Toss pulp with chopped tomatoes, garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, sugar (if using), and pepper. Let stand until ready to use, at least 10 minutes.
- While tomatoes stand, cook pasta in boiling salted water, uncovered, until al dente, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately add to tomato mixture, tossing to combine. Sprinkle with basil and Parmesan and drizzle extra-virgin olive oil on top before serving.
