Easy and delicious quick fix!

Feeling hungry? love pasta? Not much in the pantry...that's o.k. If you have a small garden or a few leftover veggies you can make a great pasta dish. I love to get creative with nothing especially when it comes to cooking.  Here is a very easy and delicious dish.Keep in mind this post is to share a dish made with practically nothing that you will love!

what I had
one big juicy tomatoes from my garden or any veggies...chopped
fresh basil from my garden...chopped
olive oil
grated cheese
one pound of any pasta ( I used a gluten free spaghetti)
99% of the time I cook with garlic left it out this time..great to add chopped to but be sure to saute in a little olive oil



boil your pasta add a little olive oil and a pinch of salt to water. I  cook until al dente


chop your tomatoes





chop your fresh basil...holes included...hey the bugs have to eat too!
drain your pasta ( reserve a little water a few large scoops ) put in big bowl to mix or your pot.
drizzle in a bit of olive oil
some sea salt
toss together add a little grated cheese and there you go...a quick, easy and delicious Italian dish served in my French bowl of course!!!

enjoy! xo Laura
