      Pasta no chx.jpg

      Hey, kids... Between oil changes, tire rotations, timing belt replacements, and un-necessary car shopping, we humans need FOOD !

      So, here's something for youz guise to whip up in a jiff.

      Ingredients:
      Roma Tomatoes (8, cut in halves)
      Garlic (6 cloves, finely diced)
      Olive Oil (1/4 cup)
      Salt & Pepper (to taste)
      Pasta (homemade or box; spaghetti/noodles - your choice; 4 servings)
      Grilled (or Fried) Chicken (Two Breasts cut in half or 8 tenderloins; optional)
      Crunchy bread suitable for slicing and toasting (4 slices)
      Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese - fresh grated (to taste)

      If you are making your own pasta, do so beforehand !

      Istruzioni

      1. Preheat oven to 400°F, (200°C)

      2. On a rimmed baking sheet, pour the Olive Oil and sprinkle the 4 cloves of finely diced garlic

      3. Place tomatoes (cut-face down) onto the sheet

      4. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top

      5. Place in oven for 30-40 minutes (until skins are loose)

      6. Meanwhile, get that chicken seasoned and grilled (or fried) and keep them warm !

      7. Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let cool until you can handle them and then remove the skins.

      8. Place the tomatoes into a blender and pour all of the (cooled) oil, garlic, salt and pepper from the baking sheet on top. Puree until smooth.

      9. Pour roasted tomato sauce into an appropriately size pot and simmer.

      10. Preheat oven broiler to 450°F (230°C)

      11. Place the pasta in boiling water - keep an eye on it

      12. Slice bread 5/8" (16mm) thick and "pre-toast"

      13. Place toast onto baking sheet and douse with olive oil and the rest of the diced garlic.

      14. Sprinkle healthy mount of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top

      15. Broil bread until the cheese just starts to bubble or turn brown - remove immediately.

      If you skip the chicken, it's all good ! Eat some more bread and cheese !

      Voila ! Buon Appetito!

      Enjoy with your favorite libation... I prefer a medium bodied Italian red with this dish. Maybe a Sangiovese or Montepulciano d'Abruzzo...

      Abbondanza !
