Congratulations on the win🥇Italy 🇮🇹 in honour of every Italian out there and every non Italian that adores ”football” as we say back home (aka soccer) ⚽️ this here is for you. I also want to take a second to also acknowledge every other country that played in the Euro and just to congratulate you all on your beautiful teams that you cheered on as they all played phenomenally and you have so much to be proud of as well! Sports are all in good fun and whether you like soccer or don’t, there’s always room for a good plate of pasta regardless 🍝 lol. The beauty of food is that we can all come together no matter what and share the love. Today I am showing you how to make a beautiful blistered cherry tomato and garlic pasta that is a staple in my home every summer. If you don’t like sun-dried tomatoes feel free to leave them out as this recipe works beautifully without them as well. You will need:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2-3 teaspoons olive oil
3 small thinly sliced garlic cloves
1.5 cups cherry tomatoes cut in half
1 tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes — optional
freshly chopped basil to taste — 3 leaves
pinch of salt for the tomatoes
chilli flakes — optional
boiling salted water for the pasta
pasta of choice
2-3 tablespoons pasta water for the sauce
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please note : The pasta water should be a salty as the sea as this is your only chance to flavour your pasta. Chilli flakes are optional
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Add your pasta to boil and In the meantime start the sauce. Add the olive oil to a cold pan on the stove with the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. The reason we do this is so that it comes up to temperature together in the oil gets infused with the garlic. Turn the heat on medium-high and as soon as the oil gets hot add in the cherry tomatoes. You want them to sizzle. Add a pinch of salt and stir everything for 2-3 minutes. The moment the cherry tomatoes are nice and soft and the garlic isn’t burnt the sauce is ready and turn the heat off. Add your cooked pasta with a bit of the starchy pasta water and gently stir it together. Serve with fresh basil, parm and a touch of olive oil is optional. Enjoy 😊
