Fresh Tomato Pasta


Once again, my tomato plants are taking over the garden - and it makes me so happy :)  I love walking by and picking the Sweet 100's to snack on, or cutting up the Early Girl's for my daily lunch salad.  However, the other week I decided I wanted something a bit more substantial for dinner, so I went outside and picked a bowlful of Sweet 100's and used what I had in the pantry to make a yummy and quick meal.  While water was boiling for pasta {I used spaghetti}, I heated up some olive oil and sliced garlic in a frying pan over medium heat.  I sliced up a bunch of small tomatoes and after I added the noodles to the boiling water, I added the tomatoes to the oil, sprinkled with salt, pepper, and basil, and let cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles were done.  That's it!  I added the tomato mixture to the noodles, topped with some Parmesan, and had the easiest, quickest dinner that was super flavorful and satisfying.  I've finally found a way to get rid of the tomatoes! :)
