Spaghetti with fresh tomatoes

Like most of us I do like pasta. I find it so versatile and you can make it using all sorts of ingredients that you may have.
This recipe is very quick and easy to make. It takes about 15 minutes to prepare and I love the contrast of colours.
Serves 2

Ingredients

200g spaghetti
4-6 tomatoes,chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Fresh basil, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions.
Put the olive oil in a pan and heat. Add the garlic and the tomatoes. Allow the tomatoes to cook and add salt and pepper to taste. Drain the spaghetti and add to your sauce. Sprinkle the basil and mix together. Ready to serve! You can add grated Parmesan if you like. I prefer this without as I like to be able to smell and taste the tomatoes.

TIP: You can use cherry tomatoes, no need to chop these.
