    Ever have nights where you just don’t feel like cooking but really want to eat something delicious? Happens here all the time especially on a day when Goose puts me through the paces and I’m a dishrag by 2 pm. I used to be a fan of going out for a quick dinner on those days, but have you ever gone out to dinner with a toddler that hasn’t napped and is teething?

    Other torture methods have nothing on that. NOTHING.

    So on days like that, when I’m beyond done, I want something easy and comforting. Enter this quick and easy bruschetta pasta.

    I love this dish. It soothes the soul and makes bad days better. It could be the answer to world peace.

    Ok, maybe not the world peace thing, but it is a big bowl of comforting delicious carbs bursting with sweet cherry tomatoes and subtly spicy garlic all topped off with basil. It’s summer pasta at its finest. Although it’s basically carbs, it still feels light and it’s the perfect meal to take outside and eat on the patio while sipping a glass of white wine. Feel the stress melting away already? I do.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients: tomatoes, olive oil, white wine, garlic, pasta, basil, salt and pepper

    Ingredients: tomatoes, olive oil, white wine, garlic, pasta, basil, salt and pepper

    • Pasta– I like thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta in this but use whatever you like or have on hand.
    • Cherry tomatoes– Half or quarter them depending on their size. The juice will combine with the noodles, wine and olive oil to make a sauce.
    • Garlic– Go for fresh garlic cloves instead of garlic powder.
    • Olive oil– Olive oil makes a base for the sauce.
    • White wine– Use a good white wine that you would drink. 
    • Fresh basil– Again fresh is so much better here than dried. 
    • Salt and pepper– Just to taste.

    Other things you could add:

    • Parmesan cheese
    • A pinch of red pepper flakes
    • Meat or seafood of your choice 

    How to Make

    This easy pasta recipe comes together so fast! The whole thing is done in under 20 minutes! And that’s with a train wreck of a child hanging off your leg while you cook. To make it

    To make:

    Boil the pasta.

    Look at how easy it is to drain the noodles! No more sink spaghetti!

    Fill a large pasta pot (I use this Bialetti pot and love it) with water and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to directions on the package.

    Make the sauce.

    cut cherry tomatoes

    Chop the cherry tomatoes into equal sized pieces

    Once you put the pasta in the water to cook, heat the olive oil over medium low to medium heat in a large pan or skillet. Add the halved tomatoes and season them with salt and pepper to taste.

    As the tomatoes begin to cook, press the garlic cloves with a garlic press and add them to the pan. Pour in a cup of white wine and bring the whole thing to a slow simmer, stirring frequently to make sure the garlic doesn’t burn.

    Add the wine and simmer.

    Add the wine and simmer.

    Add the pasta to the pan.

    When the pasta is cooked, drain the cooking water and add the pasta to the pan with the tomatoes. Toss in the sauce. Season with extra salt and pepper if desired. Remove from heat and add the fresh basil. Serve and enjoy.

    How to Serve

    I like serving this recipe as is and topping it with a bit of Parmesan cheese. As is, the recipe is vegan. With Parmesan cheese, this will be a vegetarian pasta recipe. If you are feeding meat eaters, feel free to add chicken like I do in this balsamic tomato chicken pasta or shrimp for a version of a classic shrimp scampi but with tomatoes.

    Storing

    If you have any leftover store them in a sealed container in the fridge. To reheat, I don’t recommend microwaving. Instead, add the leftover pasta back into a skillet with a tablespoon or two of olive oil and just cook it over medium low until warm.

        I LOVE bruschetta pasta! If my body would start agreeing that carbs aren’t the enemy, I’d probably eat it every day! Your version looks delish – love that you left the tomatoes whole!

        • jfletcher says

          Try it with zoodles! Or play with your pasta- not like a little kid would. I mean unless you want to throw it on the dog, then by all means. But there is pasta made out of quinoa- so healthy and more protein than carb!

            I love your recipe the best except where is the cheese? All the other recipes called for parm cheese. Just wondering if you forgot it or don’t use cheese. I will make but add some parm.

        So simple and easy I wonder if stock could be substituted for the wine.

        Reply
        • jfletcher says

          Absolutely. I would sub veggie stock in. I’d probably be a little less liberal with salting it then too since stock is saltier than wine.

        I experience the same thing at least 2 times per week. My kids wear me out, but I don’t want to have cereal for dinner! I’m trying this recipe as soon as my cherry tomatoes and basil are ripe!

        Reply
        • jfletcher says

          Oy, the struggle is real. Fortunately, this is one of those easy peasy dishes that keeps me from eating cereal or just face planting directly into the ice cream cartoon.
