Fresh Tomato Pasta- Ana Livia's way

Im sending a recipe I invented today - something I made up because I was hungry and too lazy to go buy something....
This is the recipe for One European portion :P I used dried parsley, basil, etc... but if you can use fresh it will taste much better, I am sure.

Fresh tomato pasta

Ingredients:
One tomato
1 cup of uncooked pasta (the angel hair one)
Basil (if fresh even better)
Parsley (If fresh even better)
salt
black pepper
a bit of chili pepper (in this case, not fresh)
Extra virgin olive oil
1 cube of chicken broth (Or just chicken broth)
Onion powder
Garlic powder (you don't want a smelly breath afterwards)
Olives (optional)
1 small slice of cured cheese

How to make it:
First of all, boil the water with the chicken broth cube in it. (Or just boil the chicken broth). When the water is boiling, add the pasta and wait until it is "al dente"
While the pasta is boiling, cut the tomato in the smallest size you can. (DONT DRAIN THE LIQUID THAT COMES OUT OF THE TOMATO!) After it is really tiny, squeeze it softly with a fork, which will create more liquid but still leave those tiny pieces.
On a different pan, on a medium temperature, add the olive oil and right away the tomato and mix it. While you mix it, add the salt, onion and garlic powder (not too much!), the basil, the parsley, the black pepper, the chili pepper and the optional olives. Keep mixing it, and you notice it is hot (but not the oil boiling) take it out. You want to keep that fresh tomato flavor. :D

Then drain the pasta, mix it with the sauce. Cut big pieces of that slice of cheese and throw it, mix it for just like 2 seconds, and serve it. The cheese will eventually melt, but it wont take over the dish.

:D Enjoy!!!!


I love you :)
