This pasta is best made when the tomatos really taste like tomatos. Like true Italian pasta, it is dressed very simply. The sauce is thin, and the slivers of tomato just melt into it. Make sure you have a good appetite and a big piece of parmesan when you make this.
Tomato Basil Pastafor 3 or 4 people
3-4 tomatos
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tb butter
1/4 cup white wine
1/3 cup chicken broth
2 tb butter
2 tb fresh basil, chopped
parmesan cheese
spaghetti noodles
Boil water for the noodles. When you add the noodles to the water, begin to make the sauce. Slice the tomatos very thinly. Saute the garlic in 1 tb of butter until it just starts to color. Add the wine and simmer for 1 minute. Add the broth and simmer 3 minutes more. Add the tomatos, basil and 2 tb butter. Simmer until the noodles are done. Season the sauce with salt and pepper if needed. Drain the pasta and pour into a bowl. Pour over the sauce, grate in lots of parmesan. Mix together and plate, making sure all portions get some of the sauce from the bottom of the bowl.
