Capellini Pomodoro

Before my husband and I had children, we went out to eat all the time, and one of our go-to places was The Olive Garden. Their Capellini Pomodoro was one of my go-to items on their menu. Years later, we no longer go out to eat like we used to and I believe this is no longer on the menu. Fortunately, it was such a simple dish that I was able to come up with my own recipe! I hope you enjoy my “copy-cat” version of this beloved dish.

16 oz. angel hair (capellini) pasta
