4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Fresh Gremolata Pasta; see * Note
; cut into fettuccine
½ cup Extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup Slivered shallots or red onion
1 tablespoon Roasted garlic
cup Seeded and diced fresh tomatoes
(several varieties; if possible)
? amount Sun-dried tomatoes
Salt; to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper; to taste
Freshly-grated cheese
Basil-Mint Herb Oil; see * Note
Basil sprigs

Directions

* Note: See the "Gremolata Pasta" and "Basil-Mint Herb Oil" recipes which are included in this collection.

Cook the pasta in lightly-salted boiling water until just al dente, about 3 to 4 minutes if fresh. Drain and immediately run cold water over to stop the cooking. Drain again and toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to prevent the pasta from sticking. Warm the remaining olive oil in a pan, add the shallots and garlic, and saute for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Combine the oil, shallots, and garlic with the remaining ingredients, except the cheese. Season with salt and pepper and toss with the pasta.

Serve in bowls, sprinkled with freshly-grated cheese, a drizzle of Basil Oil around, and a basil sprig for garnish. This recipe yields 4 servings.

Recommended wine: A lighter-style Cabernet or Merlot would add a rich note to this dish.
