A very, very simple recipe I found on a pasta box that has got to be delicious and also "tweakable." A good one for those nights when you're rushed. Photo source: http://www.bettycrocker.com

How To Make angel hair with tomatoes & basil

Step 1

Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain.

Step 2

While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until golden, about 1 minute. Stir in basil and tomatoes. Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Step 3

Toss pasta with tomato mixture; sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste; serve while hot.
Step 4

You could add meat to this dish if desired, onion, peppers, other spices--any number of things--to dress it up and if you have time.
