I feel almost embarrassed to write this recipe as it is so easy, and to me common practice. However as I am a true believer in that good things don't need to be complicated, I thought I would share with you. This was actually whipped up for my housemates packed lunch as there was left over pasta from dinner. Any-way a few good quality key ingredients here and you will have a mouth watering bowl of delicious pasta. Red, juicy, ripe tomatoes are essential.
What you need:
6-8 small juicy tomatoes (or use whatever quality tomatoes you can find- not from the supermarket)
one smashed garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon dried red chillies (mine are from Calabria...HOT HOT HOT)
a pinch of dried oregano
a pinch of salt
250g penne pasta
1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
How to make:
1: Bring a large pot of water to the boil, then add a handful of salt and the pasta. Follow the direction on the packet of pasta- it should be ready within 10-12 minuets
2: In a frying pan add the oil, smashed garlic and chillies- lightly saute
3: Chop the tomatoes roughly in half and add to the pan, salt and add the oregano to the tomatoes. Lightly cook until the tomatoes become morbid and the juices run into the oil. The pasta and the sauce should be ready at the same time
4: Drain the pasta and add to the saucepan with the tomatoes and toss thoroughly
5: Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, oh and pieces of crusty bread to soak up the tasty juices
