Quick, easy, kids like it-tomato sauce, fresh basil, cheese. I made this for the first time tonight, have been neglecting the groceries. I made this from what I had in the kitchen. It was delicious, my 4 year old liked it too! Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil (good extra virgin preferred) |
1 medium onion, finely chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon thyme |
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
1/8 cup fresh basil leaf, chopped |
1/8 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded |
1/8 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded |
1/8 cup cheddar cheese, shredded |
parmesan cheese |
1/2 lb pasta, prepared per package directions (small pasta, shells, elbows, etc) |
Directions:
1. Heat oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add onion sauté until fragrant (2-3 minutes).
3. Add garlic, cook 3-4 minutes more, stirring often to prevent browning.
4. Add tomato sauce and dry spices.
5. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Remove from heat, add cheeses, stir gently until melted.
7. Add basil.
8. Pour over prepared pasta, toss to coat.
9. Top with parmesan cheese.
10. Serve with hot bread.
