How to Make Angel Hair With Balsamic Tomatoes
- 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.
- While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- 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.
- Stir in fresh basil leaves during the last minute of cooking.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze (optional).
