This is such a quick and easy meal to put together. It's a favourite when I have nothing else prepared and the kids are hungry and I need to put together something fast. Not only is it quick to make, but it is tastes amazing. There is no better combination with pasta, than fresh tomatoes and garlic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seriously if you have been making your sauce for pasta with canned tomatoes, make the switch now and you will wonder why you hadn't tried it sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While a nice sauce can still be made with canned tomatoes, the process of canning them gives them a slightly acidic taste. Fresh tomatoes, on the other hand, don't have that at all, when made into a sauce like in this Tomato and Garlic Pasta, they are sweet and flavoursome, especially when matched with some garlic, onion, herbs and seasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don't even bother blanching my tomatoes to remove the skin. If you invest in a handy little peeler like this Kuhn Piranha Serrated Peeler<\/a><\/strong><\/span> - peeling tomatoes or any other vegetable\/fruit with a soft skin will be effortless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a healthy extra a spare, a little-grated parmesan is perfect over this pasta dish, but don't worry the parmesan is totally optional, this Tomato and Garlic Pasta are equally delicious without.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
