Tomato, Basil and Garlic Angel Hair Pasta

I truly believe you shouldn't eliminate ANY food you LOVE completely unless you have to. What kind of world would that be? And you will probably blow it big time by doing so. Everything in moderation is the key to a healthy happy life in my opinion.

Pasta is one of those dishes! Twice a month is a great goal for my family. A nice yummy comforting side dish. Nothing beats fresh REAL pasta but there are some great gluten free brands out there. One of my favorite brands is Tinkyada Gluten Free Brown Rice Pasta.

On those busy nights at home, when you need to make a quick meal, THIS is the go to pasta recipe. So quick and easy! So fresh and delicious! Kid friendly if you omit the garlic. My son LOVES this! 

YUMMY YUMMY IN MY TUMMY!

Ingredients:

Makes 2 servings. I wing this recipe each time with the amounts, so play with it and make it taste to your liking! Adding more or less, of the ingredients.

• 1/4 box of Angel Hair pasta
• Half a box of Cherry Tomatoes-Halved
• 1 Garlic clove- Chopped
• 2 Tbs Extra Virgen Olive Oil
• 2 Tbs Grass Fed-Butter
• 5 leaves of Fresh Basil - chopped
• Garlic Salt to taste

Directions:

• Cook Pasta per directions.
• Add Olive Oil,1 tbs of Grass-Fed Butter, Tomatoes and 3/4 of the Fresh chopped Basil to sauté pan. Saute on medium/low for about 4 minutes. If it seems like you are frying the Tomatoes and Basil add a dash more oil and butter. You are sautéing not frying them. 
• Add chopped garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Or until tomatoes are tender and sweet. *Do not over cook the garlic. Burning the garlic will ruin the flavor. 
• Add the remaining Tbs of Grass-Fed Butter to drained, warm pasta with the warm Tomato, Basil and oil mixture. Add salt to taste. Serve immediately.

Light, Fresh, Delish and full of Healthy Fats!
