Try This: Angel Hair with Fresh Tomato Sauce

Serves 1 person so sick of Mac n' Cheese she could spit. But wouldn't.

¼ lb angel hair pasta

minced garlic, to taste

1 ripe Roma tomato, or whatever kind you have on hand

1 tablespoon high quality olive oil

1- 2 basil leaves, chiffonade

grated Parmesan cheese

Sea salt

Slice the tomato horizontally into ¼ inch slabs, then dice the slabs. Place diced tomatoes in a strainer and rinse away seeds and slime. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet. Meanwhile, bring water to a boil for the pasta. Add some salt and the pasta. Sauté the garlic and drained tomatoes in the olive oil until just softened. The skin will start to peel back slightly. Salt to taste. Turn off the heat and set aside. Strain the pasta, being careful not to let it slip through the holes of your strainer. A wire mesh strainer works well here. Place the pasta in your serving bowl, then top with the tomato “sauce”. Sprinkle with basil and Parmesan cheese.
