Ingredients
  • 8 plum tomatoes, seeded, and chopped into ½ inch pieces (about 4 cups of tomato)
  • 2 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • ½ cup Fresh basil, chopped
  • ½ cup Olive Oil
  • Salt, to taste (about 1tsp)
  • red pepper flakes, to taste (about 1tsp)
  • 1 box whole wheat penne
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella, cubed
Instructions
  1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl (glass or ceramic is best).  Let sit out, do not refrigerate, for at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.  When you’re ready to eat, cook your favorite pasta and drain. While pasta is still hot, add to sauce. Add in chunks of mozzarella.   Serve with a crusty, rustic bread.
  2. Hold the carbs, please: Love the tomato sauce but don’t want to eat all that pasta? Try the tomato topping on grilled chicken or swordfish.
