Pasta Pomodoro

As a first post, we decided to put a very simple and easy pasta recipe which I'm sure you will all love!

"Pasta Pomodoro", in Italian Pomodoro means tomato and It is intended to be a very light and quick meal.
Ingredients :

• Angel hair or Spaghetti
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 2-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 (small) fresh tomatoes
• Ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped basil
• 2 tablespoons of Tomato Sauce (optional)
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (optional)
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

What next?

1. Boil Water and lightly salt it. Add pasta and cook for 8 minutes or until "al dente" and then drain.
2. Pour olive oil in a skillet and heat it on high. Saute onions and garlic until lightly browned. Reduce heat to medium-high and add tomatoes and vinegar, then simmer for about 8 minutes.
3. I love adding a pinch of sugar to counter-balance the acidity of the tomatoes (optional)
4. Add the ground black pepper (to taste), basil and tomato sauce.
5. Turn off the heat and toss in the cooked pasta mixing it well with the sauce, add grated Parmesan cheese in the plate.

Bon appetit!!
