US - Metric

Instructions

Cut the tomatoes in half. Season them with oil, salt, and 1 chopped clove of garlic. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes while you continue preparing the
recipe.
Drizzle a saucepan with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil. Gently brown 1 clove of garlic, until golden. Once golden remove from the pan, toss and then add the tomato purée. Season with salt and black pepper.
Cook over medium heat until the purée reduces by half. The result should be a concentrated and thick sauce. Cover if it splatters too much.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Briefly cook the angel hair and reserve some of the pasta cooking water.
Drain the angel hair pasta, return it to the empty pot, and whip with 1 tablespoon cooking water and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Spread 1 t to two ablespoon of tomato reduction in the center of each plate.
Top with a nest of angel hair, garnish with the tomatoes, then finish with a little liquid from their marinade over it. Serve lukewarm.
