Cooking with Fresh Tomatoes: Delicious Summer Pasta Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 8 Ounces Angel Hair Pasta
• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 Cup of Reserved Pasta Water
• 2 Cloves Garlic
• 1 Small Shallot
• 6 Ounces Spicy Italian Sausage

  Sweet or regular works
• 4 Cups Cherry Tomatoes
• 3 Tablespoons Fresh Basil
• 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 2 Serrano Pepper

  Optional

Instructions

• 1 Cooking pasta is an easy process. Begin by boiling a large pot of water and add
  a couple of tablespoons of salt once it starts boiling. Then, add the pasta to
  the boiling water and cook it as per the instructions mentioned on the package.
  
  Please note that the pasta will continue to cook when mixed with the tomato
  mixture, so cook it for 30 seconds to a minute less than the package directions.
  Once the pasta is cooked, make sure to reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
• 2 Thoroughly cook chopped Italian sausage in a sauté pan. Set aside.
• 3 Heat the olive oil in a saute pan. Add the garlic, shallots, and peppers
  (peppers are optional). Cook for about a minute until the garlic and shallots
  begin to soften.
• 4 Add the whole cherry tomatoes to the garlic and shallot mixture. Saute the
  mixture until the tomatoes burst open, which should only take a few minutes.
• 5 Combine the pasta with the tomato mixture and toss thoroughly until evenly
  mixed. Gradually pour half of the reserved pasta water into the mixture and
  continue stirring. Next, add the cooked Italian Sausage and stir everything
  together. Add the remaining pasta water if needed for additional sauce.
  
  Once everything is cooked, take the pan off the heat and sprinkle in the chopped
  basil. Toss everything together until it is properly combined.
• 6 Serve with Parmesan cheese if desired.
  
  Enjoy!!!
