Another great recipe from Bon Appetit. It is very simple to make and has a great presentation.
Although I love it just as it is, I have created some variations to it, and they all taste great.
Instead of using the tomatoes without cooking, you can roast them in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes, until the skins are charred, then take off the skin and chop the tomatoes.
Instead of using fettucine, use angel hair pasta, just make sure you cut the tomatoes into smaller pieces. It becomes a denser pasta dish, which is great in itself.
Add sauteed mushrooms, or add black olives, or add capers, or add feta cheese instead of Parmesan, or add proscuitto and Parmesan. I have tried them all, and all are great.
Serve it with a basic green salad, perhaps using mesclun greens, and a glass of dry white wine, and you will be in heaven:)
