Tomato and Basil Pasta
Ingredients
- 1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced or sliced)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 turns white wine
- salt and pepper
- 5-6 leaves basil
- 1 tbsp capers
Preparation
Begin boiling water with a healthy pinch of salt for pasta
In the meantime, over medium high heat, add olive oil in a large pan
Add garlic and cook until edges just start to brown (don’t wait too long; else it will burn and your life will be ruined, ruined I say)
Add tomatoes, capers, oregano, salt, and pepper
After tomatoes have cooked for a minute, add white wine (I added two turns of the pan)
Let it all come to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer while your pasta cooks
Once your pasta is al dente (save your pasta water!), add to the pan of sauce and incorporate
Add more salt as needed
If it starts to get dry, add a ladle of pasta water, one scoop at a time until you achieve a creamy consistency
Sprinkle with torn bits of basil and serve
