1 pound of farfalle pasta (I use bowtie)
4 plum tomatoes, diced (I only used 3 for these pictures)
8 basil leaves, cut into chiffonade
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 t salt
Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way with water and place over high heat. Add plenty of salt and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to cool down. Put the pasta in a large bowl and add tomatoes, basil, lemon juice, olive oil and salt. Toss well and garnish with basil leaves.
Enjoy-

Right up my alley. YUM!
I have a big bag of fresh basil in my fridge right now and just bought some lemons. Maybe this is just meant to be.
Yes... a basil recipe! I have tons in the garden that needs using. In fact, I have ALL the ingredients. This is going on my supper menu... thanks!
This rcipe is a keeper! I almost always have these ingredients on hand. We use whole grain pasta and this will be a new way to "dress it up"!
I was just wondering what to make for dinner tonight. I'm making this! Perfect. Thanks!!
