Angel Hair Pasta with Fresh Roasted Marinara Sauce

Angel hair pasta cooks in 6 minutes and the vegetables roast unattended. This recipe gives you a 5 star meal in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients:

8 ounces angel hair pasta, dry
4 large, ripe tomatoes, cored, halved and seeded
1/2 onion, peeled and quartered
1 clove garlic, cut in half
1/2 red or green bell pepper, cored
1/4 cup fresh basil
4 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions:

1Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside in colander until ready to serve.
2Meanwhile, preheat your oven broiler. Place tomatoes, onion, garlic and bell pepper skin side up on a flat cookie tray.
3Roast under the broiler until skins turn very brown and blisters - about 10 minutes.
4Place all vegetables into your food processor or blender. Add fresh basil and puree until smooth.
5Reheat sauce and serve over cooked angel hair pasta.
6Sprinkle 1 Tbsp grated parmesan and fresh cracked black pepper over the top of each portion

Cook's Tips:

If you want a spicy marinara use a mild hot pepper like Anaheim, Poblano or Pasilla. Serve 1 cup as a side dish with your favorite lean protein or side of beans and a salad.
