Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams spaghetti or linguine pasta
- 1 large ripe mango
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium garlic cloves
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, peel and dice the mango into small cubes. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Stir in the diced mango and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Add the red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the mango-tomato mixture. If the sauce seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Garnish the pasta with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy your Mango Tomato Pasta warm!
