A quick and lighter pasta dish that's easy to prepare and goes with alot. I love to serve it with sauted boneless chicken breast and a caesar salad. My sister came up with this one.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound angel hair or other thin pasta shopping list
- 1 cup diced (or thin julienne) onion shopping list
- 1 clove garlic minced shopping list
- 1 cup favourite Italian dressing (I prefer light kind with less oil)(vinegar will lose its punch with cooking) shopping list
- 1 cup water shopping list
- 1/2 cup fresh basil julienned shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian blend herbs optional shopping list
- about 3 cups cherry or other small tomatoes cut bitesize shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper shopping list
- 1-2 T butter optional shopping list
- parmesan or fav shredded cheese shopping list
How to make it
- Prepare pasta per package instructions ( I like it on the softer side for this dish)
- Meanwhile...
- In a large skillet (big enough to hold everything at end) add all but tomatoes and cheese (add basil here or save some/all for fresh toss at end)
- Heat on high until onions soften
- add tomatoes and cook until heated through
- add pasta and toss to mix and heat (if you like the tang of dressing add a few tablespoons of uncooked dressing now to kick up the flavour)
- serve immediately and sprinkle with fav cheese
