A simple and flavorful one-pot angel hair pasta Pomodoro made with fresh cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil, and parmesan cheese. This quick and easy recipe combines sautéing and simmering to create a light tomato sauce that perfectly coats delicate angel hair pasta, ideal for a fresh, satisfying weeknight dinner.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 7 oz angel hair pasta
  • 1 lb cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2-3 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1 cup parmesan or Italian hard cheese, grated
  • 1 bunch basil and/or flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • Olive oil (for sautéing, amount as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Heat a little olive oil in a wide, deep pot over low to medium heat. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and minced garlic; sauté until the garlic is fragrant and soft.
  2. Add flavorings: Stir in the balsamic vinegar, butter, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to allow the tomato juices, butter, and balsamic vinegar to create a sticky coating on the tomatoes.
  3. Add pasta and stock: Add the angel hair pasta to the pot, then pour in 2 cups of vegetable stock. Stir well to prevent the pasta from sticking. Initially, the pasta will remain dry on top but will soften as it absorbs the stock.
  4. Simmer the pasta: Cover the pot and leave it to simmer on very low heat for about 5 minutes. Stir regularly to prevent sticking and add more vegetable stock if the mixture starts drying out. If the sauce is too watery, simmer uncovered briefly to reduce excess liquid.
  5. Add cheese: Once the pasta is cooked al dente, stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted, combining with the starchy liquid to form a creamy sauce.
  6. Finish with herbs and serve: Turn off the heat and mix in the chopped basil or parsley. Serve immediately for best freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of vegetable stock depending on the pasta’s absorption; keep some extra stock handy.
  • If you prefer a richer sauce, add more butter or cheese to taste.
  • This recipe is flexible: substitute parsley for basil or use a mix of both herbs.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan for the best melting and flavor.
  • Stir frequently during simmering to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
