This is such a yummy, spicy dinner! Sometimes, if I'm in a hurry, I will use a large can of diced tomatoes instead of chopping up the fresh. You could also add some chicken to this dish if you would like.
Ingredients:
1 lb vermicelli
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
13 roma tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon parsley
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
3. While the pasta water is boiling, in a large skillet over medium heat, briefly saute garlic in oil.
4. Stir in tomatoes and their juice and sprinkle with salt. When tomatoes are bubbly, mash slightly with a fork.
5. Stir in parsley, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes more.
6. Toss hot pasta with tomato sauce, Cajun seasoning, mozzarella and Parmesan.
