Light and Fresh Summer Pasta
K..... So I don't really have a "recipe" for this - sorry! I just made it and liked it.
1 lb of angel hair pasta
4 garlic cloves (you can add more)
fresh sage diced as small as possible
4 tomatoes (mine were kind of small... I'd use more if i had them)
extra virgin olive oil
real shaved Parmesan cheese
cook your pasta, drain and set to the side. in a frying pan warm up about 5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. press your garlic through a garlic press and add to the warm oil. i do this on a very low to low/medium temp (i have a gas stove) because I'm not cooking the garlic i just want to get it warm enough that the natural flavor starts to come out of it and you can really smell it. once that happens (on low it takes a few minutes... seriously you'll smell it) i take the pan off the heat and through in my fresh sage that i have diced as small as i can get it, stir it up. this is off the heat. the warm oil bring out the flavor/scent of the sage and you're good to go. add the oil/herb mix into the cooked past, add diced tomato and toss. add more extra virgin olive oil to taste and texture. you want a loose pasta, if you don't have enough oil the pasta will stick together and not mix as well. once you have served the pasta onto a plate/bowl, add the shaved parm cheese and there you go!! i love it just like that but my husband and mother-in-law like to add Italian salad dressing to it. whatever works!
