Hi, I'm new. Wanted to share one of my favorite recipes:

1/3 cup minced fresh basil
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Hot cooked angel hair pasta or spaghetti ( i use whole wheat)
Grated parmesan cheese

Drections:
In large bowl, toss tomatoes with basil, oil and garlic; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Let stand at room temperature 30-60 minutes or until juices are released from tomatoes, stirring occasionally.
Serve over hot pasta. Sprinkle a little cheese.
Yield: 3-1/2 cups

ENJOY!!!
