How to Make Angel Hair With Tomatoes Basil And Garlic

  1. Cook angel hair pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Add halved cherry tomatoes (or crushed tomatoes), chopped basil, salt, and pepper to the skillet.
  5. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until tomatoes have softened and released their juices. If using canned tomatoes, cook until slightly thickened.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
  7. Stir in chicken broth and Parmesan cheese until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
  8. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra basil leaves if desired.
