Marg and John gave us an easy pasta recipe when we were visiting at the coast. I made it for us tonight and it was delicious! I recommend everyone try it. The recipe is for 2 people, but could easily be adapted for more.Fasta Pasta
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
2 minced garlic cloves
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
3 tbsp. olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
enough penne or rotini for 2 people
In the morning: Combine tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cover and leave to marinate on the counter.
Dinnertime: Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to pot. Add marinated veggies (don't drain) and cheese. Toss, cover. Set aside for 5 minutes, until cheese melts. Place in your favourite pasta bowl and serve immediately. Good with baguette sticks.

Instead of fresh basil, I used dried because that's what we had. Also, I only used about 1 tbsp which was plenty for the dried basil.
