Linguini, Tomato and Basil One Pot Pasta Meal

Linguni, Tomatoes and Basil are a perfect combination. Pasta is one of my favorite fast dinners to make, at home. This recipe is nothing short of a cooking miracle-- just add pasta, and the rest of the ingredients to a large sauté pan...add water and cook for 9 minutes. You get fast and delicious pasta with a creamy sauce-- without the cream! It's a fun recipe to make and a nice change when you want a meatless meal that has a lot of flavor.

If you want a little extra creaminess, add a splash of heavy cream to the finished pasta. Delicioso!
