How To Make Easy Tomato Pasta
Start with cooking the pasta until al dente. Don’t forget to check the package instructions for the cooking time.
While pasta is cooking, you can make the sauce. Sauté some fresh minced garlic in olive oil, and fry some spinach until wilted. At this stage, you can also add in your favorite chopped veggies.
Add diced tomatoes alongside a little reserved pasta water and basil leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Give this a quick stir. Now you add in cooked pasta and grated cheddar. Stir again and let it heat through.
Just before serving, I like to top this tomato pasta with plenty of basil leaves, a few cherry tomatoes and cheese.
Delicious and easy tomato pasta for your next weeknight meal!
