Add crusty bread and a salad to this easy pasta dish to make a complete meal in mere minutes. The creamy sauce with fresh tomatoes and basil is a pleasant change from traditional tomato-based sauces, writes Irene Smoliga of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Ingredients:
8 ounces uncooked angel hair pasta |
6 tablespoons olive oil |
2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, cubed |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
16 fresh basil leaves |
2 plum tomatoes, chopped |
3 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, for pesto, in a blender, combine the oil, cream cheese, garlic and basil; cover and process until smooth.
2. Drain the pasta and transfer to a serving bowl. Top with tomatoes and pesto; sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Yield: 4 servings.
