Pasta Pomodoro
1 pound dried pasta
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 28-oz. can whole peeled tomatoes,
including liquid
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. sugar
12 fresh basil leaves, torn
Cook pasta according to the package directions.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the garlic and cook until light brown, about 1 minute. Add the
tomatoes and their juices, salt, pepper, and sugar. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer, crushing the tomatoes with a wooden spoon, until
the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Stir in the basil. Toss
with cooked pasta.
Makes 4 servings.
Upgrade: Shrimp and lemon zest
Add 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined) to the simmering pomodoro
sauce. Cover and cook until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 4
minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the basil. Divide among bowls and
sprinkle 1 tsp. lemon zest over the tops.
