"I adore angel hair pasta, and such a fine pasta doesn't always need a big sauce. Serve with some kind of cheese or "cheez" if you wish, sprinkled on top. My children like it with sliced olives. There are many versions of this simple recipe, this one I adapted from www.cookingnook.com. This would probably be good for 4 as a side dish..."

"simple 10 minute tomato sauce.
The pasta you choose will make or break the recipe. Italian cooking is based on simplicity and for simplicity to work you MUST use quality ingredients. Cheap pasta (it's often yellowy with a lot of broken pieces and little markings on it) won't stay "al dente" that is with a little bite to it...."

"A superfood meal. High in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Low in fat. A one dish meal and 30 minutes to make. Use Castelli cheese if you are veggie, otherwise use the Grana Padano.
Jazz it up by adding some fried chopped bacon or replace the mushrooms with halved cherry toms."

Ingredients: grana padano, pappardelle pasta...

"Nothing says Italy like fresh-picked tomatoes and basil still warm from the sun. This sauce is not cooked; the heat from the pasta draws out the natural flavours of the vegetables, so use really good quality, vine-ripened tomatoes. Enjoy!"
