Olive Garden Capellini Pomodoro is a delicious pasta dish with fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil, and Parmesan cheese. This copycat Olive Garden Cappellini Pomodoro recipe is a light pasta entree made with fresh ingredients. You can prepare this dish in the time it takes to cook the pasta.
Years ago, an Italian restaurant served a dish called capellini pomodoro which I ordered often, sometimes adding grilled chicken or shrimp to the pasta. This is my own quick version. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Score a shallow "x" in the bottom of the tomatoes.
DIRECTIONS Heat olive oil and add garlic, cook until garlic turns white. Add diced tomatoes and pepper. Heat through stirring constantly. About 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add basil and half of the cheese. Toss gently with the pasta. Serve at once and top with remaining cheese.
