tomato basil pasta

Such a lovely light, summery vegetarian pasta that I enjoy occasionally for lunch or dinner.  This makes enough for 1-2 people.

Tomato Basil pasta

Ingredients:

1 T evoo
1 clove of garlic
1 shallot
1 lg tomato
1-2 T basil
2 -3 T spinach
2-3 handfuls of bowties
couple artichoke hearts, quartered
a squeeze of lemon

Add whatever you like, this is pasta you can’t mess this up.  To keep it simple, you really only need tomato, basil, garlic, olive oil, s + p and some type of pasta.

First, get the ingredients chopped up.  Start the pasta boiling and warm the evoo in a sauce pot.  Add the garlic & shallot to the evoo and saute on medium low heat for a few minutes.  Then, add the tomatoes and cook several minutes on medium heat.  Season with s + p, add the basil and spinach and cook a few more minutes.  Add the artichokes (I love artichokes and try to sneak them in anywhere I can) and squeeze of lemon, along with the bowtie pasta.  Stir together, if you like add parmesan or nutritional yeast.

whole wheat couscous

This bowl full of goodness was so very light….what a great summer dish.  I barely boiled the zucchini and broccoli and couscous.  Then added garbanzo beans, parsley, lemon and braggs.

The sauce was my favorite part of this simple dish.

Tomato Basil sauce

  • 1 can tomato sauce
  • 1 cube of basil (i didn’t have fresh so I used frozen basil)
  • 1 medium shallot, minced
  • 2-4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1-2 T olive oil
  • salt & pepper, red pepper flakes

Sauté the shallots & garlic in olive oil a couple mins on medium heat.  Add tomato sauce, basil and salt & pepper to taste.  Simmer for 5-10 mins.  So.  Simple.

The wild mushrooms were cooked in olive oil, minced garlic, veg parmesan cheese, and dry white wine.  I tossed the mushrooms and pasta with truffle oil….very easy and delicious!
