Marinated T'maders in Angel Hair

This meal is so light and refreshing! The flavors are fresh making both the tongue and tummy very happy!

Ingredients
16 oz. cherry/grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 leaves of basic, chopped
pinch red pepper flakes [or according to taste]
1/4 cup olive oil
angel hair pasta
Additional chopped fresh basil leaves, garnish
Parmesean cheese, garnish

Hot French or Italian bread, accompaniment

Directions
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, squish tomatoes with your hands to release juices and tenderize the tomatoes. Mix in salt and taste. It should taste sweet. If not, add salt sparingly until just sweet. Add all other ingredients, including the olive oil. Let sauce rest and marinate for at least 30 minutes [can be made a day in advance].

*Note: This sauce is a recipe that is very versatile. I put it on homemade Margarita pizzas, inside of grilled cheese sandwhiches, or even in cous cous or pasta salads. You'll find numerous ways to use this simple, yet delicious, tomato sauce! Mmmm!

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Add the tomatoes and juices and cook over low heat until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large serving bowl. Top with fresh basil and paremesean cheese. Serve immediately
