Deb's Gemelli

My friend Deb is an amazing cook! Many of my favorite recipes came from her kitchen! This is one of them!

Deb's Gemelli

EVOO
2-3 cloves garlic crushed
red pepper flakes
12-14 plum tomatoes
fresh basil
1 container sun dried tomato/basil feta
grated parm
1 lb. Gemelli pasta

Coat bottom of sauce pan with EVOO, add crushed garlic and sprinkling of red pepper flakes
Saute garlic on med heat
Remove most of garlic once browned, keep on separate plate

Wash and dice tomatoes...add to the sauce pan and cook over med heat until reduced to a sauce, stirring occasionally (half hour to 45 minutes)
Once reduced add in feta (I usually use most of the container) and continue to simmer on low--you can also sprinkle in some parm.

Boil gemelli until al dente

Once cooked, add gemelli to the sauce and cook for about 5 minutes
Wash and tear a few fresh basil leaves and add to sauce

Serve with crusty bread, a sprinkle of parm

You can also sprinkle the cooked garlic on top, or add some olive oil to the garlic plate and dip bread in it...yum!!

Enjoy!!
