This is a wonderful summer pasta dish that uses the flavours of fresh tomatoes and basil when they are at their peak.
- Ingredients
- little tomatoes
- salt and a little crushed garlic
- fresh basilico
- half a cup of very good olive oil
- black pepper
- fettuccelle or any pasta you fancy
pick your little tomatoes
cut them in half or quarters depending on size
put them in a bowl
add some salt and a little crushed garlic
cut the fresh basilico roughly – be generous with it
mix in about half a cup of very good olive oil and some black pepper
boil water and salt in a large pot for the pasta, cook the pasta until ‘al dente’
I used ‘fettuccelle’ but you can use any pasta you fancy
drain the pasta keeping half a cup of the water
put the pasta in a bowl, add the water and now the tomato mix
the heat of the pasta will release the flavour of the tomatoes and baslico
add a little more olive oil and serve
Buon appetito!!
