A delightful pasta dish featuring fresh basil, garlic, and tomatoes, perfect as a side or light main course.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the angel hair pasta until al dente.
Ensure the water is well-salted for flavorful pasta.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over low heat and gently sauté the sliced garlic until fragrant.
Keep the heat low to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and cook over medium heat until they soften and release their juices.
Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the tomato mixture, add the fresh basil leaves, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
Serve the pasta warm, garnished with additional basil leaves if desired.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
