Pasta Primavera

This recipe is one of those recipes that I think everyone has made at one point in their lives. It is super easy, healthy, and delicious.  My mom taught me how to make this awhile ago and I make it all the time for a quick and easy meal.
To be honest I don't use exact measurements.  I don't think you can really go wrong with these ingredients.  Feel free to add more or less of whatever you'd like!

To start out put some olive oil in a sauce pan.  Add in the onions and start cooking for a few minutes before adding the garlic.  Make sure the onions become a little translucent.

Once the garlic has simmered for about 30-45 seconds add in some basil and let simmer for 5 minutes.  Now all that is left is to add the diced tomatoes and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.  I know it's really hard to wait, but trust me it's worth it.  Make sure to stir it every once in awhile to make sure all the flavors get absorbed. 
When it is finished salt to taste and serve on top of angel hair pasta.  I always add some shredded parmesan to make it extra tastey.


Ingredients
1 small onion
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup fresh basil chopped (or 1-2 tbsp. dried basil)
4 tomatoes diced (or large 29 oz. can of petite diced tomatoes)
salt (to taste)
parmesan (optional)
