Ingredients for Angel Hair Pasta With Lemon Garlic And Tomatoes

  • 8 ounces angel hair pasta

How to Make Angel Hair Pasta With Lemon Garlic And Tomatoes

  1. Bring several quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add 8 ounces of angel hair pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  3. Add 1/4 cup of dry white wine to the skillet and cook until reduced by half (about 2 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice and 1 cup of halved cherry or grape tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes, until tomatoes slightly soften.
  5. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the skillet with the lemon-tomato sauce.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired. Enjoy with a side salad for a complete meal!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
