This is a recipe for a fresh, healthy Italian meal that is light and simple and takes only minutes to make. It's similar to Olive Garden's or Macaroni Grill's capellini pomodoro, if you're a fan of that dish.
Ingredients
serves 4
12 ounces Spaghetti pasta
2 pounds fresh peeled and diced tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups fresh chopped basil leaves
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
How to make it
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta. Cook approximately 10 minutes, or to desired firmness. Drain.
While pasta is cooking, Add a few tablespoons of olive oil to a deep skillet and turn heat to medium. Finely mince garlic and add to skillet, being careful not to burn.
Dice tomatoes and reserve juices. Add to skillet and turn heat to low. If using canned tomatoes, add tomatoes and juices to pan. Add salt and fresh ground pepper. Cook on low about two minutes, or until tomatoes are heated.
Add drained pasta to tomato mixture. Toss well. Add 1/2 cup fresh torn basil leaves to pasta. Serve with parmesan cheese and additional ground pepper.
p.s. - I added a small amount of cut Zuchini since I din't want tomatoes as the only veggie ;)
