I played around with a recipe this past week and came up with this dish! I’m very happy I did because it tastes delicious! And other than the dab of mayonnaise you throw in to make it creamy, it is very good for you! Let me share the pictures first:
Doesn’t that look good? I tried to make it look good for a picture, I need to wipe the sides off better next time, lol.
I used three roma tomatoes and two pints of grape tomatoes
Me and my crazy garlic again, I used a whole bulb
My basil was a bit wilted in the fridge but they tasted fine! I sliced up 20 basil leaves for this recipe
Angel Hair Pasta – cooked just below al dente since you heat it up in the sauce too
Frozen green peas, it can be left frozen even up until cooking
Heat up some good olive oil and saute the garlic
Add the tomatoes
Once the tomatoes release some liquid, add the basil
As the mixture cooks down, more liquid comes out. I added about 1/4 cup of mayonnaise to this to make it creamier
Add the peas in just as the sauce is done. You don’t want to overcook the peas so add it at the end to just warm them up
Here it is! Finished! And so delicious. I added salt and pepper to taste and then added a mozzarella and parmesan shredded cheese right before consumption.
Angel Hair with Tomatoes, Peas and Basil
Ingredients:
1 lb. Angel Hair Pasta (I used Barilla brand)
1 bulb of Garlic, minced
3 T Olive Oil
3 Roma Tomatoes, chopped
2 pints Grape Tomatoes, sliced
20 Basil Leaves, julienned
1 package of Frozen Peas
1 tsp of Salt
1 tsp of Pepper
1/4 C of Mayonnaise
Mozzarella/Parmesan Cheese according to your taste
Heat up the olive oil in a big skillet, add the garlic to saute. Once the garlic has browned for about a minute, add all the tomatoes. Once the tomatoes has cooked down a bit and released liquid, add in the basil and mix it together. Lower to medium heat and continue simmering. Once the mixture has released enough liquid to become a sauce (about 5 minutes), add the mayonnaise to thicken the sauce. Add the frozen peas and simmer for about 3-4 minutes. Add salt and pepper, taste and adjust seasoning according to your taste.
Turn off the heat. Add the noodles in and mix it up. Â Sprinkle cheese on top as you serve the dish. Enjoy!

A closer look…it’s a heart! It’s the little touches that count!
Just a peek into the best chicken pot pie ever made. Yes, I’ll stand by that statement. 🙂
I didn’t actually eat this one but it’s her Quiche Lorraine! My coworker got this and he loved it too! You really can’t go wrong with pie.
