Ingredients

  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 x garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 c. dry white wine
  • 1/4 c. freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 c. minced tomato, (1 medium tomato)
  • 4 ounce dry spinach angel hair pasta
  • 4 ounce dry semolina angel hair pasta
  • 1/4 c. minced fresh basil
  • 2 Tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grnd black pepper to taste

Method

  • Delicate angel hair pasta demands a light and elegant sauce, such as this simple white wine mix flecked with bits of fresh tomato and basil.
  • It's a terrific first course or possibly luncheon dish.
  • I find the spinach and semolina varieties to be somewhat sturdier than plain wheat-flour angel hair pasta, but you still need to handle them carefully.
  • Cook for only 30 seconds to 1 minute, toss, and serve immediately.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and maintain at a boil.
  • Put the extra virgin olive oil and garlic in a saute/fry pan and cook over medium heat just till the garlic begins to brown.
  • Remove the saute/fry pan from the heat and pour in the wine.
  • Return it to the heat.
  • Cook for another 1 to 2 min, till the wine has been reduced by half.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and tomato.
  • Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Place the pasta in the boiling water and cook to desired doneness, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Drain the pasta and put it into a hot serving bowl.
  • Add in the basil, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper, along with the tomato mix.
  • Toss and serve immediately.
