I love fresh food. I'm not a fan of many jarred foods, tomato sauce being one of them. My favorite way to eat pasta is to keep it light and fresh, adding delicious and juicy in season ingredients. For summer, my favorite go to pasta dish, and one that takes literally minutes to prepare is filled with lemony fresh basil, juicy tomatoes, rich and creamy mozzarella, flavorful garlic, and one of my favorite ingredients, heart healthy olive oil. These simple ingredients mixed with the goodness of whole grain pasta, leave me feeling satisfied knowing that I ate something fresh, healthy, and in season!
Simple Summer Pasta
1 box of pasta
3 tomatoes, chopped
A handful of basil, chopped
Fresh mozzarella, chopped
Two cloves of garlic, minced
A few tablespoons of olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Pick your favorite pasta and cook to the package ingredients. Make sure not to overcook, al dente is best for this dish! When the pasta is still hot, combine with chopped basil, tomato, mozzarella, olive oil, salt, and pepper. The pasta will cook all of the ingredients and the flavors will come together in a really nice way. Dig in while still warm and enjoy the simplicity!
Suggestion: Not interested in tomatoes, or other ingredients in this dish? Substitute them for your favorites. Use your imagination and then eat up!
