Bio:
I thought making it onto a cooking reality show would be my ticket to culinary fame, but that whole experience was a disappointment. Since then I have quit my job in a commercial kitchen and decided to start making my own cooking show, QUICK MEALS. This is episode 18.
Home is where the heart is, and good food brings family and friends together around the table. That's what I'm all about and that's what I want QUICK MEALS to be all about.
Recipe:
Start off by generously salting about six quarts of water and heating over high heat. In the meantime, let's get to work on our sauce.
Add you crushed red pepper, onions, garlic and olive oil to a saucepan. Flash sauté those aromatics over high heat. The second your garlic beings to brown, pour in your San Marzano tomatoes. Stir it all up real good and then add in your tomato paste, oregano, red wine, fresh basil, a bay leaf, salt and pepper. Stir it all up real good. Then let's lower the heat on our sauce to a simmer while we attend to our pasta.
Drop your angel hair into your boiling water, stir it a bit and let it cook for no longer than 2 minutes. We want our angel hair al dente. Drain your pasta, plate it, spoon on some of your luscious sauce and you've got yourself another quick and delicious meal sure to make your taste buds PAP!
