Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Tomato Angel Hair Pasta.

1. Step 1

   Begin your culinary adventure by placing fresh tomatoes in a large pot and covering them with cold water.

2. Step 2

   Bring the water to a lively boil, then carefully pour it off and cover the tomatoes once more with cold water.

3. Step 3

   This little trick helps loosen the skins, making them easy to peel.

4. Step 4

   Once they’ve cooled down, gently remove the skins and chop the tomatoes into small, delightful pieces.

5. Step 5

   In another large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil.

6. Step 6

   Add the angel hair pasta and let it cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s tender yet still has a satisfying bite.

7. Step 7

   While the pasta is cooking, heat a generous splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

8. Step 8

   Toss in the crushed garlic and sauté it until it turns a lovely opaque color, but be careful not to let it brown.

9. Step 9

   Next, stir in the tomato paste, followed by your freshly chopped tomatoes, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper.

10. Step 10

    Lower the heat and let this fragrant sauce simmer gently while the pasta finishes cooking, adding fresh basil just before serving to brighten up the flavors.

11. Step 11

    Once your pasta is perfectly cooked, drain it without rinsing to keep that lovely starch that helps the sauce cling.

12. Step 12

    Drizzle a little olive oil over the pasta and toss it gently before mixing it into the rich tomato sauce.

13. Step 13

    Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and keep the pasta warm, uncovered, for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld beautifully.

14. Step 14

    When you’re ready to serve, dish it up and don’t be shy with the grated Parmesan cheese on top—it’s the perfect finishing touch! Enjoy your delicious creation, and savor every bite!.
