This is my absolute favorite dish! If you like food with just a little kick and you are a pasta fan…this recipe is for you!

Ingredients

• 1 pound vermicelli pasta


• 2 tablespoons olive oil


• 1 teaspoon minced garlic


• 13 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped


• 1 tablespoon salt


• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley


• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning


• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese


• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.


2. While the pasta water is boiling, in a large skillet over medium heat, briefly saute garlic in oil. Stir in tomatoes and their juice and sprinkle with salt. When tomatoes are bubbly, mash slightly with a fork. Stir in parsley, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes more.


3. Toss hot pasta with tomato sauce, Cajun seasoning, mozzarella and Parmesan.
