Yesterday I made my famous pasta. (Uh, okay... I made pasta.) It's sooo good. And since I have no idea what to write about today (haha, sorry. I will make a schedule for the future!), I'll give you guys the recipe.
I don't really measure how much of everything that I put in. I just kinda see how it looks.
Start off with cherry tomatoes (or any kind of tomato. I just prefer cherry. They're so good & sweet.) and dice them. I leave some of them whole sometimes, because warm cherry tomatoes that pop in your mouth are SO good. So cut up the tomatoes, then throw them in a sauce pan and add olive oil and white wine vinegar. Or red wine vinegar. Whichever you prefer/have. I used red wine vinegar yesterday because I couldn't find the white wine and I was too hungry to look.
I loooooove garlic so I add a lot of garlic cloves. Our neighbours down the street grow garlic and gave us some bulbs and this is the best garlic I've ever had. The garlic cloves are HUGE and so strong. So I only used two, haha! That's probably a lot to everyone else, but I think garlic is one of my favourite foods (is garlic a food? Ah, who cares.). Then I put in a bunch of dried oregano. Oh and add sea salt and fresh ground pepper (or just plain old salt & pepper!).

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and then I pour a bit into the sauce pan with the sauce and mix, adding more as you go. Then I add some grated Parmesan and fresh basil and oregano on top and eat! (Preferably with garlic bread. I didn't take a photo of the garlic bread. Well, okay, I did. But it didn't turn out well. All of my cameras and computers seem to be going against me this summer!)

If you make this let me know how it turns out!
(You don't know how many times while I was writing this I forgot what words were... haha what is with me today! I was like, "Umm what's that thing that you put the tomaotoes in called again...." "What's that other thing called..." Hahaha.)
So, here's the recipe?
- chopped up tomatoes of any kind
- olive oil
- white wine vinegar/olive oil
- dried oregano
- sea salt & freshly ground pepper
- any kind of pasta
- Parmesan cheese for topping
And I think that's it!
(Oh and if you know of any things to do in Chicago, check out the post below this!)
Yummy!
ReplyDelete:) garlic is totally a food - right?! Garlic makes every food better - how's that! Thanks for the recipe! I'm not much of a cook, but I like to try every once in awhile!
ReplyDeletei looooooooooooove pasta! i can eat it everyday! how's the shred doing for ya Holly? im up to level 2 and every day I just wanna give up! lol
ReplyDeletethis sounds really good!
ReplyDeletep.s. i looked at your profile picture, and i can kiiinda see what people mean. i think it has something to do with his eyes! and i think he does look like both. probably because i think that joseph gordon-levitt and heath ledger look alike! :)
YUM! I usually make my tomato sauce by slow-roasting tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it IS hard to come up with things to blog about. I guess it takes time to fall into a rhythm over time...
This looks so good, Italian (besides Indian) is my favorite food genre!
ReplyDeleteIts funny that you mentioned how hard it is to come up with post titles, I couldn't agree more. I've resigned myself to titling each post with collective nouns for animal groups i.e. army of ants, swarm of butterflies etc. since I think they're so interesting and kind of random =)
yumm yum!!! my mouth is watering. i. love. garlic!!!
ReplyDeleteThis. Looks. Soooooo. Good. Like, Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Good. And something that even I, the-woman-who-sets-off-the-smoke-alarm-every-time-I-cook, can do. Thanks for sharing & for the delicious pics, Holly!
ReplyDeleteOK Holly, I just made this! While I was nervous that you didn't specify the measurements (I'm not a good cook & have no sense of it), everything came out GREAT. I love that you're all for substitution & using what you have. I used everything you mentioned plus spinach, mushrooms, chicken & Italian Seasoning. Yum! While I think I might've put too much salt, it was dee-lish. I can totally trick my husband into thinking I'm domestic now :)
