Recipes Pasta and Noodles Pasta by Shape Recipes Capellini Pomodoro (Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce) 5.0 (2) 1 Review 1 Photo Years ago, an Italian restaurant served a dish called capellini pomodoro which I ordered often, sometimes adding grilled chicken or shrimp to the pasta. This is my own quick version.

Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Score a shallow "x" in the bottom of the tomatoes. Add tomatoes to the boiling water and cook uncovered until skin starts to peel off, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Peel tomatoes. Transfer peeled tomatoes to a food mill, and process until smooth. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, saving 1/4 cup of the pasta water for the sauce. While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add garlic and salt and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add pureed tomatoes and as much pasta water as desired. Simmer until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide pasta amongst 4 serving bowls. Top with tomato sauce and sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve immediately. Cook's Note: If you do not have a food mill, you can use a box grater to get a nice texture. Just be careful to not cut yourself.
