This is a great pasta salad to pair with a light protein or enjoy on its own on a hot day.
Ingredients
- Bowtie pasta
- 700 grams of tomatoes
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1/3 cup of basil
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
Directions
- Dice tomatoes, roughly chop basil and grate garlic
- Combine olive oil, garlic and basil in a large bowl
- Add the tomatoes into the bowl and stir well
- Add salt and pepper to taste
- Let sit for 4-8 hours
- When you are ready to eat, cook your pasta in heavily salted water, drain the pasta and add the hot pasta to the sauce
- Give it a good mix and serve it with a drizzle of olive oil and parmesan cheese
Good luck; and, may you have an abundant harvest and enjoy many meals from your garden this season!
