Tomato Basil Garlic Pasta

Many of you have probably had this dish at one time or another but I felt called to send it because right now is the time to make this! The ingredients are at there peak.

Serves four:
Tomatoes- five medium- if you can get these from a farmers market or vine ripened it will enhance this dish enormously
Basil- ½ to ¾ bunch
Garlic-3-4 cloves depending on personal taste
Extra Virgin Olive oil
Salt and pepper and a good Parmesan cheese for topping
Pasta of your choice- angel hair is nice with this dish, you can use spelt or quinoa if wheat sensitive.

Core tomatoes and dice in quarter inch cubes. Finely chop basil, and garlic. Mix together (drain off juice of tomatoes if it looks too watery) add olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
Boil water for pasta, cook pasta al dente. Drain and toss pasta with small amount olive oil, place on plate, top with sauce and add grated Parmesan and fresh cracked pepper.
Enjoy this summer delight!
