@on_todays_bake: Quick and delicious homemade dinners Simple Pasta al Pomodoro (My Way) Ingredients (Serves 2): 200g spaghetti or pasta of choice 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 3 garlic cloves (whole) ripe plum tomatoes, halved A handful of fresh basil Salt, to taste Black pepper, to taste Parmigiano-Reggiano, to serve Instructions: Infuse the oil: In a wide pan over medium heat, add the whole garlic cloves to olive oil. Let them sizzle gently until golden on the outside. Remove them before they brown. Crush the garlic: Once slightly cooled, crush the garlic with the flat side of your knife to release even more flavor, then return it to the pan. Cook the tomatoes: Add the halved plum tomatoes cut-side down. Let them cook without stirring for a few minutes so they caramelize slightly. Then stir occasionally until they soften and break down — about 10–15 minutes. Season with salt and toss in fresh basil near the end. Cook the pasta: Meanwhile, boil pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water before draining. Combine: Add the pasta directly into the sauce, along with a splash of the reserved water. Toss everything together over low heat until the sauce coats the pasta evenly. Serve: Plate and finish with more basil. Add parmesan if desired — or keep it bare and beautiful. #familymeals #homemadedinner #DinnerIdeas #quickdinner #easydinner
