Italian | Fettuccine Pomodorovegan

Posted on June 8, 2020

The original recipe used capellini and cherry tomatoes, I used what I had, which was fettuccine and vine-ripened tomatoes. Results were great, so I kept making it this way.

Yield: 2 to 4 servings

fettuccine pomodoro

Ingredients

8 ounces dried fettuccine pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed

1 pound vine-ripened tomatoes, cored, cut an X in the bottom

2 garlic cloves, minced

kosher salt, to taste

5 to 6 fresh basil leaves, cut into chiffonade

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

 

Method

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add tomatoes and let boil for 30 seconds. Carefully remove the tomatoes from the water. Let cool a bit, then peel off their skins. Chop tomatoes.

Top off water, if needed. Bring to a boil. Add salt and fettuccine and cook according to package directions. Drain and return to the pot. Toss noodles with 1 tablespoon of the oil and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large skillet. Add tomatoes and let cook until soft, about 15 minutes. Add garlic and salt and let cook a few more minutes. Remove from heat.

Add tomatoes and basil to pasta. Toss and season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with more oil, if desired.
