Today was 100 degrees. 100 degrees!! When you're outside in that kind of heat it makes you not want to do anything. Especially cook dinner. And I mean a real dinner, a salad isn't a dinner! Fortunately today is meatless Monday so I didn't need to cook any meat which always makes my kitchen soooo hot. So I made one of my favourite meatless meals! I don't know where my mom got this recipe but I love it! It's healthy which always makes me feel good. And it's tasty! It's really fresh and bright and a little spicy from the garlic and basil. And this is so easy! It's just cutting and chopping and stirring, done!
Ingredients:
1-1 1/2 pounds Roma tomatoes, seeds removed and chopped into small pieces
1/2 can black olives, sliced
Juice from 1 lemon
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon basil, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound whole wheat pasta
In a medium bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, sliced olives and minced garlic. Stir well and add lemon juice and olive oil. After it's mixed well, add basil. Season to taste. Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, refrigerate sauce to let the flavours marry together.
