One of my favourite pasta sauces.
Another quick and easy dinner to prepare on a work night.
Just a few ingredients.
Olive Oil
Tomatoes
(Fresh at this time of year)
Garlic
Basil (both dried and fresh)
salt
pepper
Kalamata Olives (optional)
hot red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh grated Parmesan
Just heat the olive oil, add garlic, tomatoes, dried basil, salt, pepper
and hot red pepper flakes (if using).
Add olives (optional)
Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
Cherry Tomatoes
Just before serving toss in a handful or two of fresh basil (Chiffonade)
Toss with pasta of choice and pass the parmesan.
Takes longer to boil the water for the pasta than it does to cook this sauce.
Serve on it’s own or with your favourite side.
I like grilled Italian Sausage.
