Capellini Pomodoro

3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (14.5 oz each) good quality diced tomatoes, or about 2 pounds fresh peeled and diced tomatoes
¼ t freshly ground black pepper
2 cups fresh chopped basil leaves
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
12 ounces dry angel hair pasta, cooked

Heat olive oil and add garlic; cook until garlic is tender. Add tomatoes and pepper and heat through, stirring constantly, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer hot, cooked pasta to large bowl. Toss pasta gently with tomato mixture, the fresh chopped basil and half of the Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and pass remaining Parmesan. Serves 4.

I got this recipe from my brother this last weekend. He she it is really good and low fat. Which I am always looking for good low fat recipes.

  2. I made this today it is so delicious & easy; my kind of recipe.
    Someone had given me some tomatoes so I used fresh and added a little salt. I have not used fresh basil so I thought that 2 cups was going to be too much; but it wasn’t. I even used basil that I raised myself. I served it with grilled chicken that I marinated in Italian Dressing.
    I give it 5 stars *****
