Ina Garten’s Ridiculously Easy Pasta Recipe Is One You’ll Want to Try ASAP
If you’re looking for an easy and fresh summer dinner, look no further than this recipe by Ina Garten. The Food Network host and all-around culinary goddess shared an Instagram video of her recipe for Summer Garden Pasta back in 2017, and needless to say, it’s been a staple of ours ever since. The light and seasonal pasta recipe only calls for a few ingredients besides staples like olive oil and salt: angel hair pasta, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, red pepper flakes, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.

Besides that, all you have to do is cook the angel hair (in three minutes! ) and toss with the marinated tomatoes, basil, and cheese, and dinner is served. As Ina would say, “How easy is that? ”
