"Baby, you must be from Heaven, cause you got a bunch of Noodles on your Head!"

Capellini (or Angel Hair. Get it?) is by far my favorite pasta (but my worst pick-up line)! I like it mostly because I can eat a ton without getting too full! In my hay day, I would eat until I got cross-eyed and had to lay down on the floor, but lately, I have discovered a joy of eating that doesn't involve unbuttoning my pants shortly thereafter! This recipe is simply perfect for a good lunch and nice stroll!

Capellini Pomodoro - easily serves 4
1/2 lb of Angel Hair Pasta
4 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 large Roma Tomatoes, diced
2 1/2 T Parmesan Cheese
5 cloves Garlic, minced
1-1/2 T Butter
2 T Fresh Basil


Boil and drain your pasta (I recommend just a little undercooked, while it will continue cooking for a couple of minutes) and then set aside. Heat a saute pan on medium high, add the oil and then bring back down to medium low. Toss in garlic and lightly brown (be careful not to overcook or burn).


Add in Tomatoes, Parmesan and Butter and stir on medium heat until tomatoes are almost ready. Turn heat to low and add in Basil. Cook for another minute or so.


Turn off heat. Toss pasta and sauce together in the pan until completely coated. Serve.


Ok. I cheated and used the same picture from my Balsamic Chicken post. I'm not really a photographer, I'm a cook!
