Ingredients: 300g pasta. 4 large ripe tomatoes, chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh basil leaves for garnish. Grated Parmesan cheese optional.
Instructions: Follow the directions on the package to cook the pasta until it is al dente. Remove the water and set it aside. Set olive oil on medium heat in a large pan. Add the minced garlic and cook for about one minute, until the garlic smells good. It will take about 5 to 7 minutes of cooking after adding the chopped tomatoes until they start to break down. Add pepper and salt to taste. Put the cooked pasta in the pan and mix it all together. This will let the pasta soak up the tomato flavors.
