Directions: |
Directions:Put the olive oil and the chopped garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Let the garlic simmer until it turns light tan. (Don’t let it become too dark or it will taste bitter.) Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool; the garlic will continue to darken as the oil cools. Cook the pasta (al dente) according to the package directions and drain. Place the pasta back in the cooking pot and add the olive oil and garlic cloves. Mix together over low heat for 1-2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cayenne pepper. Continue to stir over low heat for about 2-3 minutes, until the tomatoes are heated and the pasta is covered with a reddish tinge. Add the basil and stir over low heat until the basil turns a darker green. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and stir the mixture well. Turn off the heat and let the pasta “rest” for 1-2 minutes. Turn into a large pasta-serving bowl and sprinkle with additional shredded Parmesan cheese. Pass additional cheese when serving.
Serves 4 very lucky people.
Great with a light salad and crusty Italian bread.
