I grew up eating my mom’s angel hair pasta, which was light and flavorful, but have yet to successfully make it. It always turns out too oily or lacking serious flavor. I crave the intense basil aroma that fills the house, and the juicy, warm tomatoes that leave an unforgettable taste in your mouth. I decided to try something a little different that combines my mom’s recipe along with some of my favorite ingredients. The result? A delicious, easy pasta that will be added to my list of go-to meals. Try it out. You won’t be disappointed.
