Pasta with Tomatoes, Basil, and Garlic

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 clove garlic
• 15-25 leaves of bazil (fresh)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 small-medium tomatoes or 1 large tomato
• Enough pasta for one large serving (I prefer shapes that hold
• sauce well, such as radiatore)
• salt

Directions:

Directions: Chop up the garlic finely. Cut the tomatoes into small chunks. Wash the basil and tear up the larger leaves (leave smaller leaves whole)

Heat up the olive oil in a frying pan (use enough oil to more than cover the bottom of the pan), and start sauteeing the garlic, but don''t let it get brown. After it has sauteed for a minute or two, add the tomato chunks and some of the basil.

Cook on low heat, stirring, until tomatoes get soft, but haven''t yet fallen apart completely (10-15 min.). Throw the remaining basil in while the tomatoes are cooking. Add salt to taste.

Serve over cooked pasta. Makes one serving.
