Angel Hair Pasta

2-3 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 Clove Garlic, minced

1 Can Diced Tomatoes

Salt to taste

1/4 t crushed red pepper flakes

1 T chopped parsley, chopped

2-3 T fresh basil, chopped

1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Cook pasta according to package directions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet

Add garlic and saute until golden. Add tomatoes and crushed red pepper. Season with salt and simmer 5-10 minutes. Drain pasta and add to skillet with sauce. Add herbs and mix w ell. (I used fresh basil & parsley from my garden). Add parmesan cheese and serve. I toasted slices of honey brown bread that I bought for $.99 a loaf from Food Lion and served this pasta on top of the bread, bruschetta style.

You can adjust the amount of all these ingredients to make as much or as little as you want. For instance if you use an entire box of pasta, use a 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes. If you want to use a half box of pasta, use a 16 oz can or more if you really like tomatoes. Use as much or as little of the garlic, basil and parsley as you want.
