Tomato Pasta

Tomatoes are in season and the prices are good. Here is a family favorite with fresh tomatoes. I simply call it Tomato Pasta. This is a great and yummy meal to prepare and serve quickly.

Ingredients:

• 6 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
• 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
• 1 lb. pasta (my family prefers the thin spaghetti)

Directions:

Prepare tomatoes and add olive oil, basil, salt, and pepper to taste; mix gently. Bring large pot of salted water to a boil and add pasta; cook until al dente according to package directions. Drain pasta and immediately toss with tomato mixture; serve at once with a side salad and homemade garlic toast or bread.
