How to Make Angel Hair With Balsamic Tomatoes

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add angel hair pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
3. Add canned tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
4. Stir in fresh basil leaves during the last minute of cooking.
5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze (optional).
