Simple & yummy pasta recipe! (mostly pantry items)

This is a must-try! (not my own recipe though)


You'll need...

-1 28 ounce can of whole peeled tomatoes (don't sub. crushed... the whole tomatoes give it a nice chunky texture!)
-1/2 cup of sundried tomatoes in oil
-1 container of grape tomatoes, halved
-4 cloves garlic, minced
-1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes


Make your favorite pasta (we used barilla plus thin spaghetti) according to package directions. Reserve some of the pasta water and return the pasta to pot.

Heat 2 tbsp. of oil from sundried tomatoes over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant. Then add the can of whole peeled tomatoes (with juice) and let it simmer for about 15 minutes - stir occasionally and break up tomatoes with spoon/fork. Next add the halved grape tomatoes and simmer for about 10 more minute until they've softened. Season with salt & pepper.

Toss hot pasta with toss - adding pasta water if needed.

We also sprinkled a little fresh parm. on top too and served with a toasty buttered baguette.
