I love garlic so when I wanted a change from tomato sauce on my pasta, I threw a few ingredients in my frying pan and came up with this. Cut down on the garlic if it's too much for you. Add hot pepper flakes if you like spice. Cook vegetable of your choice with pasta if you want. Every time I make this, it's different. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Ingredients:
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil |
4 -6 cloves crushed garlic (to taste) |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/4-1/3 cup sliced sun-dried tomato |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
pepper |
salt |
1 dash coriander (optional) |
8 ounces small shell pasta, of your choice |
fresh grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In small frying pan, saute all ingredients (on low) except pasta.
2. Do not let the garlic brown.
3. If it does, remove from heat immediately and let sit off of burner.
4. The longer it sits, the stronger the flavour in the oil.
5. Boil the pasta according to directions.
6. For a variation, you can add frozen peas to pasta water, or you can add broccoli flowerets to the last couple of minutes of boiling.
7. Strain pasta and toss with oil mixture.
8. Top with parmasan cheese and enjoy!
