For serious basil lovers only. This is delicious and can accompany any Italian meal. I like that it calls for dried basil, something I always have on hand.
Ingredients:
1 (13 1/4 ounce) package whole wheat penne
1 small white onion, chopped
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons dried basil
salt
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, saute onion in the olive oil, along with the dried basil. Saute over medium heat and stir frequently so the basil does not burn.
3. Cook until onions are tender and translucent.
4. Add salt to taste.
5. When pasta is done, drain and add onion basil mixture.
6. Add cheese and toss to coat.
7. Serve warm.
8. Add salt to taste if needed.
