Fresh Tomato and Basil Pasta

Fresh ingredients are a must for this but I found it delish. cutting up the basil took a bit of time but was so worth it.

I thought this salad was very bland. No interesting flavors. I still have it in the fridge b/c we haven't eaten it all yet.

Delicious! A great way to use fresh garden tomatoes and basil! I will make it again and plan to share this recipe with friends.

Quick, easy and Delicious! I've made this several times and it's always a big hit.

The basic salad recipe is good..and easy. But it is in dire need of seasoning. I added some dried italian seasoning and sea salt. The other thing I think that would spice it up a bit is a little bit of the dried "Good Seasons" Italian herb salad dressing mix..It got rave reviews from the guests at my party, but I'm certain if I hadn't added seasoning nobody would have eaten it. I will make it again, though, because it was so easy.

This is a good way to use your fresh tomatoes and basil, straight out of the garden. I think I was too heavy handed with the garlic, but it was still good. I like the idea that the leftovers will be a salad! This way I already have another meal prepared!

As another reviewer stated, I added Italian seasoning. I also added pine nuts. This makes a very enjoyable side dish that I plan to make again.
