Tomato and Basil Pasta Recipe
A favourite fast-dinner option in our house is always pasta. What can be quicker and easier than adding pasta to a pot of water, sautéing some onion and garlic with tomato, then tossing it through the cooked pasta. If you are really short on time you can pour over a jar of shop-purchased tomato sauce (please add some grated vegetables, though, as your body needs fresh vegies).
