On the agenda was creating a quick and easy, but really yummy pomodoro sauce that would match the needs of meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans!
| Tags: |
Ingredients
- 12 ounce box of bowtie macaroni (for vegans, make sure there is no egg in the pasta)
- 6 cloves of garlic
- 6 basil leaves
- 1/2 large onion
- 1 green chili pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 4 large tomatoes
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- crushed red pepper
- fresh ground pepper
- salt
- sugar
Directions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and while you are getting the sauce ready, cook bowtie pasta as directed until they are firm and not mushy.
- Chop the garlic, onion, peppers and basil.
- In a large pan heat the oil and then add the garlic and onions. Cook for about a minute and then add the peppers. Sprinkle with the crushed red pepper (we wanted it to be hot, so we added a lot!) fresh ground pepper and salt. Cook until the peppers are soft, but not mushy.
- Chop up all the tomatoes and put the juice and pieces in a bowl. We used a mini chopper to do this because we wanted the tomatoes to be well chopped and wanted a lot of juice.
- Add the tomatoes to the pan and bring to a boil for a few minutes uncovered. Add in basil, lower heat and let it cook for another few minutes stirring almost constantly. Stir in a few pinches of sugar. The amount will really depend on how flavorful, or not flavorful your tomatoes are.
- Add in the pasta, stir and remove from heat. Cover and let sit about 5-10 minutes. Stirring at least once.
- We served it with a chardonnay because we wanted something light that wouldn't take away from the taste of the veggies and sauce.
- Once on the plate, put some fresh cracked pepper over the pasta and for your non-vegan friends some grated parmesan cheese.
