Dan Mancini’s Pasta Pomodoro
Ingredients
- 1/2-pound spaghetti (or pasta of choice)
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 garlic cloves, minced very fine
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 20 basil leaves, torn
Directions
1
Add the olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper to a large bowl.
2
Stir everything together, cover with plastic wrap and leave on the counter.
3
After 30 minutes, smash the tomatoes with a fork (or a small potato masher). Repeat a couple of times while they marinate for 2 to 4 hours.
4
Cook your pasta until its done, and then strain immediately.
5
Add the pasta back to the pot and add in the tomatoes. Toss for a couple of minutes (the starch in the pasta will create a creamy sauce so keep tossing).
6
Plate the pasta pomodoro, and drizzle on some extra virgin olive oil.

Enjoy! ❤️ Dan Mancini
