This is a recipe that I have had since college. One of my housemates, Brooke would make this pasta for us. It smells SO good while it is cooking. It tastes like you really spent a lot of time, but it is a meal that I can whip up in 15 minutes flat!
Basil & Tomato Pasta
- 2 cans of Italian stewed tomatoes
- one whole garlic bulb (minced)
- 3 Tbs. olive oil
- small bunch of fresh basil
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- options (add cooked shrimp or chicken chunks for variety) shrimp is VERY good in this!
Saute garlic and olive oil in a frying pan until lighly browned. (only a few min.) Add stewed tomatoes and basil. Let simmer on med heat while you cook angel hair pasta. (cook pasta according to directions on pkg.) Add whipping cream to tomato mixture. Only cook long enough to heat whipping cream. Remove from heat. Drain pasta and toss with tomato sauce together. See.....easy!
Serve with some yummy crusty bread from the Olive Mill and you're set! Enjoy!
