My cooking adventures continue with this easy-peasy recipe given to me by F's sister-in-law. She has 4 kids & is an excellent cook.
It's so easy & failproof I can't believe i've never tried it before.
All you need is pasta - we had torsades fusili, the freshest & best cherry tomatoes u can find, extra virgin olive oil & a pot of basil. These can always be found in our kitchen so we didnt even need to pop by the supermarket!
Because there are so few ingredients in this dish, i realised it's important to buy the best you can afford, so that u get the best flavors.
Cut the tomatoes & the basil leaves and mix all the ingredients together in a bowl while waiting for the pasta to cook. Then mix everything together & add more basil leaves if desired. I LOVE basil so i was happily cutting my plant down.
Alternatively, you can also put everything in a pan & fry till the tomatoes turn soft.
Tadaa! Fresh tomato & basil pasta... it's so wonderfully tasty & hearty.
To make it even tastier, grate parmesan cheese or grana padano over it... the burst of flavors is heavenly i swear.
I am not good at cooking, & shamefully.. nor do i really care to improve, so this recipe is perfect for days when you are really hungry but lazy. (We were moving furniture the whole day so we could eat a cow!) Please feel free to share easy recipes whenever u want xx
