Lightest-Ever Olive Oil Angel Hair Pasta
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 red onion, thinly sliced
3 very ripe tomatoes, 1/4 inch dice
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
16 shiso leaves, shredded, plus some for garnish
1/4 extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound angel hair
Reggiano shredded for garnish
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Directions
In a bowl, combine the onions, tomatoes, garlic, shredded shiso, and oil. Season and let stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large pot, boil water, add salt and blanch angel hair to al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain and toss with tomato mixture, season again, and garnish with Reggiano and shiso leaves.
I had to put this on my main blog, since I don't know if people ever go to my cooking blog or not- this is soooo good- it's really really simple, but tastes delicious and totally reminds me of something my mom and sisters would like. Enjoy!! (By the way- shiso is basically Japanese basil- so you can just use normal basil if you can't find shiso leaves)
I have found that cancelling my satellite TV was a really great idea for me- wow, I am so much more informed about things these days with watching just local news and PBS channels. That's where this recipe came from.....
Ok- I know I've been a slacker on the blogging- please forgive :(
However- Ms. Alyx is currently on her way home right this minute and I will definitely have some pics to post soon of her so we can all see how she has changed in the last long while!! So the big plan is for her dad to bring her to Calli's soccer practice tonight and surprise her sisters- then maybe all of us out to dinner?? We shall see- much more to come soon!
