quick sauce

NOTE: To enjoy with pasta as soon as the sauce is ready, put a large pot of salted water on the cooktop over high heat and cook the pasta (I prefer De Cecco) as directed (if you are using egg or a very quick cooking pasta, do this about half-way through these directions).

Pour the oil into a large saute pan (not a deep pot) over medium high heat. Crush the garlic and add it to the oil (if you want a spicy sauce, you can add some hot pepper, fresh or flakes, at this point). Saute the garlic until it just starts to brown, then add the parsley.

Turn the heat up to high. Now add the tomatoes, and quickly cover with the lid for about 30 seconds, until the squirting subsides. Stir with a wooden spoon and lower the heat a little. It is important that this sauce is cooked at a fast simmer, as it is cooked briefly.

The sauce will thicken quickly, so do not overcook it, and have it become too thick; about 5 to 7 minutes should be sufficient.

Taste the sauce, if it doesn't taste delicious, it probably just needs a little more salt. Turn off the heat and add the fresh basil (I tear mine into pieces). Also, unless absolutely necessary, do not wash your basil. Wipe it with a damp paper towel instead, so the water doesn't ruin the flavor and aroma.

Add sauce to the drained pasta (save some pasta water to add back into the pasta in case it's too dry), and enjoy immediately with some freshly grated authentic Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and/or pepper.

Also, if you've been plating pasta in a bowl, then topping it with sauce, this is American-style. If you want to serve it the way they do in Italy, mix the sauce in and then plate it.

More often than not, there&#039;s an emergency bowl of spicy mayo sitting in our fridge. Throw it on fried rice, dip your fried chicken in it and sauce up those left-over vegetables with this easy but super tasty sauce.

Cherry Tomatoes make a quick and easy sauce full of zingy flavor, just toss in a skillet with garlic, olive oil and your choice of herbs and you're done.

Fresh Cherry Tomato Sauce with Basil

orecchiette {

Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

garlic (minced)

red pepper flakes

cherry tomatoes

salt;

black pepper

oregano

thyme

basil leaves (from about one small bunch very thinly sliced)

In a 10- or 11-inch saute pan, heat the oil and garlic over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is softened but not browned, about 5 minutes.

Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and saute for about 1 minute.

Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper, oregano and thyme. Toss gently to coat and then raise the heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally and adjusting the heat to maintain a lively but not too vigorous simmer, until the tomatoes have been reduced to a thick, pulpy sauce, 15 to 20 minutes.

Sprinkle on  the basil and stir to combine thoroughly.

Toss the pasta with three-quarters of the sauce and spoon the remaining sauce over each of the servings. If you like, sprinkle with cheese like a Parmesan, Romano or Pecorino -- whatever you like.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how the tomatoes are still whole and look particularly tasty paired with the basil. Thanks for sharing
