When it comes to cooking, the Barefoot Contessa can do no wrong and trust me when I say that her Summer Garden Pasta is no exception. All you have here is simple ingredients brought together in a skillful way for some amazing flavor, and it’s all you need. Consider this a celebration of summer’s tomato bounty, but you can also consider it a go-to dinner that’s delicious but doesn’t take a lot of fuss.
This is really just a handful of ingredients but the magic here is in how this is prepared. There’s no sauce to make, rather, this relies on letting the tomatoes marinate for a few hours for amazing flavor with very little work.
You just have to cut the tomatoes in half, toss them in some olive oil, lots o’ garlic, fresh basil, and red pepper flake and let it sit. The juices release from the tomatoes, the olive oil takes on some of that flavor and that of the garlic.
All you have left to do is boil the pasta and toss everything together with a little freshly grated parm. That’s it! It’s a pasta dish that’s full of flavor but not heavy and it requires so little work from you. Another complete success from Ina Garten!
