    Spaghetti With Fresh Tomatoes and Basil,A quick, fresh summer dish. Use fully ripe tomatoes for best results.,This was so light and delicious for a summer night with some grilled chicken. Topped with some red pepper flakes. SO good!,Perfect instructions…however 4oz of pasta is too much for one person. I cut it down to 2.5 oz with all other ingredients the same and the dish still was too much pasta. Trying to really cut down on carbs? Go for just 1.5 oz of pasta and use same amount of tomato for one person! Add a salad with just olive oil and vinegar. That is why a kitchen scale is necessary.
