  • Add the garlic and tomatoes continue to saute the vegetables until the tomatoes softened and crack, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  • While cutting the veggies cook the angel hair pasta according to the directions on the box.

Notes

Vegetables may take less or longer depending on how they are cut. The cherry tomatoes that I used were larger, so they did take longer than smaller tomatoes would have.
