How to Make Vermicelli With Fresh Tomatoes And Herbs

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces of vermicelli pasta and cook according to package directions, until al dente (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the tomato mixture. Core and chop 2 pounds of ripe tomatoes. Finely chop 1/4 cup fresh basil, 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, and 1 clove garlic.
  3. In a large bowl, gently combine the chopped tomatoes, basil, oregano, garlic, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it thoroughly and immediately add it to the tomato mixture.
  5. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the tomato mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh basil leaves if desired.
