Pasta Shell with Spicy Jalapeno Sauce

  • 4 Garlic cloves
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1 jalapeno (seeded and chopped fine)
  • 8 plum tomatoes, cut into at least quarters
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/3 lb pasta shells (I luv Barilla!)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Sauté garlic in oil until golden.  Add jalapeno and sauté for 1 or 2 minutes.

Add tomato, 1 tsp salt and the pepper.  Cook partially covered 10 – 12 minutes

Bring pot of water to boil and add remainging salt and the shells.  Boil 7-9 minutes or until just tender.

Drain pasta shells and add to the simmering sauce.  Toss to combine and coat the shells.  Add cilantro and toss lightly again.

Remove from heat and serve.
