Angel Hair Pasta with Garlic and Herbs

Very nice homemade cherry tomatoes sauce

This was pretty good. Not overly powering with the spices I used but it was just what I was looking for to pair with garlic marinated steak tips. If I was making it as a stand alone dish I would add more spices. I used a mix of parsley, basil, thyme and chives from an indoor herb garden as my fresh herbs. We added Parmesan to individual servings since my children don't care for it. Everything else was done according to the recipe.

I used garlic powder, and some onion powder. Added canned mushrooms (didn’t drain- the whole can went in). Dried parsley flakes. Made the noodles separately, then the “sauce”, then mixed it all. I think this would be amazing with shrimp! Obviously I used a different noodle too- these were a bit too big. Little shells or similar should work fine.

Made a double batch (bc that's how much pasta was in the box) and it came out pretty well. Was difficult to toss in the cheese which resulted in a few melted clumps of it--would recommend garnishing individual bowls with parmesan as well. Used about double the garlic and the flavor still didn't really come through, so don't be stingy with garlic! Overall, the dish has potential and we will continue to tweak it. We also didn't use the tomatoes, which likely affected the outcome!
