easy quick dinner!

I recently blogged about my love for basil and tomatoes. But what I didn't mention was this wonderful, easy and oh so delicious recipe I threw together!

When Scott was gone to Wichita Falls, I missed cooking and would sometimes just want to cook a little something that would make just one serving for me. This is what I came up with and made probably once a week. I got some yummy fresh tomatoes from a guy set up down the road from us and made it for Scott for the first time last night and he LOVED it!

Recipe for last night for 2

3-4 tomatoes diced
2 cloves fresh minced garlic
however much basil you like! :)
2-3 tablespoons of EVOO
crushed red pepper flakes
pasta (i don't know how much and it doesn't really matter what kind, I've used all different kinds but I prefer wheat angel hair noodles)
mozarella or parmesan cheese

Boil and drain noodles

Mix first 5 ingredients in a skillet, sautee over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes. It will smell heavenly!

Pour over pasta, sprinkle with cheese and enjoy!

This is also good with tilapia. I know us ladies don't have to have meat in every meal like our men do but if you are preparing it for him you may want to make some tilapia as well! I just season mine with a little lemon pepper because the pasta has so much flavor it really doesn't need much.

I wish I had pictures of this meal, but I don't so make it for yourself and see! :)

p.s. Farmer's market opens tomorrow!!!
