What is this pasta dish called (Italian food)?!
Answers: I order it from time to time but I always forget what it is called, and is called different names sometimes. It is very basic: angel hair pasta, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and maybe basil? Can you please tell me what it is called, and give me a link to a recipe maybe? Thanks!
Pomodoro is the name of the sauce.
3 cloves Garlic, mince
2 pounds Plum tomatoes; seeded, diced
1 ounce Fresh basil leaves, minced
1/3 cup Extra virgin olive oil
3 ounces Parmesan cheese
12 ounces Dry angel hair pasta, cooked
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
Although for my money, a bolognese or puttanseca is a better sauce, but then again, I like meat in my sauce. Pomodoro's better for you, though. Sigh.
