Cajun Tomato Pasta
Ingredients
  • 1 pound vermicelli pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 13 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a substantial container with water that has been lightly seasoned with salt.
2
Bring the water to a rolling boil, then carefully add your chosen pasta shape and cook for 8-10 minutes or until it reaches the ideal level of firmness, which is typically referred to as 'al dente'.
3
Meanwhile, in a large pan over medium heat, quickly cook minced garlic in oil for just a few seconds.
4
Add the tomatoes and their accompanying juice to the pan, then sprinkle with salt to enhance flavor.
5
Allow the tomatoes to become bubbly and slightly tender before using a fork to gently mash them slightly.
6
Stir in chopped parsley, then reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
7
Combine the hot pasta with the tomato sauce, which has been seasoned with a pinch of Cajun spice, as well as shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
