Capellini Pomodoro

Obviously you can probably tell by now that we love tomatoes and we love pasta.  Given that today was in the 90's and unbearably hot I decided Capellini Pomodoro would be perfect.  It is a super simple dish that takes virtually no time  and barely any effort to make.  I love the simple and basic flavors in this dish and paired with my Parmesan & Garlic Pull-Apart Wheat Rolls we have a perfect meal!



Capellini Pomodoro
1 package Whole Wheat Angel Hair Pasta
8 Roma Tomatoes, diced
15-20 Basil Leaves, chopped
2 TBS Minced Garlic (we love garlic so cut this down to at least half if you aren't a fan)
2 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to Taste
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese

  • Prepare pasta according to package directions
  • Meanwhile place tomatoes in a bowl with salt, pepper, garlic, basil, and olive oil then combine
  • Add drained hot pasta and toss to coat 
  • Top with fresh grated parmesan cheese and enjoy!
See you can't get much more simple, but this is incredibly delicious and a definite favorite in our house!

    Perfect summer dish. I love that it can be on the table in the amount of time it takes to cook pasta.

    Thanks for linking with See Ya In the Gumbo!

    P.S. the wheat rolls look to die for.

      The minimal prep is one of my favorite things about this dish. And thank you for the kind comment regarding my rolls. I am very new to baking and it has been a learning process for sure. So far this is our favorite :)

    What a great simple light meal. Thanks for sharing this on foodie friday.
    PS: How do you shrink the blog buttons into that nice display?

      Thank you :) To shrink the blog buttons just adjust the height and width by placing height="xx" width="xx" (use the quotes around the number) after the img src code. I used 50 and played until they all looked uniform and were readable ;)
