I made a version similar to this., but I added organo and topped with Parmesan chese. I also cooked the garlic and added the tomatoes, oregano and basil and heated it up for about 2 - 3 minutes. I also used wheat pasta and did not add salt. It was very good. I will try your version the next tie I make it.

I made this recipe up in my head as I was looking at my garden and trying to figure out what I could make for supper. The fresh tomatoes and basil made it awesome! I added a little more garlic and let the basil and garlic infuse in the olive oil while I cut up the tomatoes. I googled the recipe to see if anyone else had posted it and was pleased to find your recipe. This was such a fresh, low cal option in place of spagetti sauce. I bet you could make it a cold pasta dish too!! Thank you!! I just made this my new favorite pasta dish....YUM!
