This is a great dish in the summer when the tomatoes are the best. I found some hot house organic cherry tomatoes and thought this would be a nice Super to watch the football game. It's easy to prepare and a one dish meal, so all I have to do is just watch the game and enjoy the pasta with some nice red wine.
It has been freezing cold here in the North East and of course there is always the snow factor. So, with thoughts of Spring/Summer, I decided to make this great easy dish.
The only cooking is the time it takes to cook the pasta, about 12-15 min. No other cooking involved
Ingredients: serves 4
400 g cherry tomatoes
1 clove garlic, minced
100 g or so or gaeta olives, pitted
1 tablespoon of capers
parsley, about a handful cut up
fresh basil, about handful
extra virgin olive oil, I use first pressed unfiltered, 60 ml or so, however you like it
fresh parsley & fresh basil
Preparation:
Mix the tomato, garlic, olives, capers, cut up basil and parsley and add a good clug of extra virgin olive oil about 2 tablespoons or so....to your taste.
Boil a large pot of water and when it is a rolling boil, add some sea salt. Let the pasta cook till al dente, drain and add to the tomato mixture. Stir and let it sit for a few minutes before eating.
Add some grated parmigiano if you wish and enjoy!
You can add or remove ingredients as you wish
This dish has some of my favourite ingredients..tomatoes, basil, good extra virgin olive oil. I hope you enjoyed it watching the football dreaming of spring.
