Basil, Tomato and Olive Oil Pasta

This pasta is the perfect spring and summer time meal! It is light and refreshing, yet filling at the same time. The fresh herbs were perfect, along with the acidity of the tomato. A winner winner chicken dinner!! Pair it with some Texas Toast garlic bread (PP+ 3 or 4) for the perfect meal.

Ingredients
6 oz spaghetti pasta
3 Roma tomatoes, diced
3 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste

Makes 3 servings
PP+ per serving: 7

Cook the pasta according to the packaging. While it is cooking, dice up the tomatoes, the basil leaves and the garlic clove. Once the pasta is ready, drain and add the rest of the ingredients. Cook over heat for another few minutes until the flavors are able to integrate.
Remove from heat and enjoy!
