Speedy Angel Hair Pomodoro: 15-Min Dinner!
Angel Hair Pomodoro: craft this fresh tomato pasta in under 15 minutes. A light and satisfying meal perfect for any quick dinner.
Ingredients
- 16 oz angel hair pasta (uncooked)
- 1 tbsp garlic (minced, (5 cloves))
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 ½ lbs Roma tomatoes (diced, (24oz.))
- 1 tsp vegetable bouillon
- 1 cup water (hot, (for the bouillon))
- ½ cup pasta water
- 2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Set a large pot of water with 1 Tbsp salt to boil.
- Dice Roma tomatoes and mince garlic. Once water boils, add angel hair pasta and boil for 2 minutes.
- Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain pasta. Heat ¼ cup olive oil in a skillet, add minced garlic and dried oregano, and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Add diced Roma tomatoes, 1 tsp vegetable bouillon, and 1 cup hot water to the skillet. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until tomatoes soften.
- Add cooked angel hair pasta and reserved ½ cup pasta water to the sauce. Toss gently to combine and season with 1 tsp salt.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Don't overcook the angel hair pasta; its delicate nature means it cooks very quickly, typically just 2-3 minutes. Al dente is key.
- For a richer sauce, use fire-roasted diced tomatoes instead of fresh, especially off-season.
- Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce, as the pasta will absorb liquid.
