Pasta with Tomatoes Herbs and Grated Parmesan Chee image

A good Pasta with fresh herbs, I love to go out to my herb garden and snip off fresh herbs for this recipe, and the Parmesan cheese and garlic make this a great Italian side dish. For me this is a comfort food, because I remember eating this growing up during some of the best family dinners.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound(s) pasta of choice
29 ounce(s) plum or diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) sugar
1/4 teaspoon(s) onion powder
1/8 teaspoon(s) dry marjoram or 1 tsp fresh
1/8 teaspoon(s) dry thyme or 1 tsp fresh
1/8 teaspoon(s) dry basil or 1 tsp fresh
1/8 teaspoon(s) dry oregano or 1 tsp fresh
- drizzle of olive oil
dash(es) salt and pepper
- grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Directions: Cook Pasta according to package directions, being careful not to over cook. Make sure you salt the water. Boiling the salt into the pasta makes it tastier. Drain pasta and immediately add crushed tomatoes, garlic powder, sugar, onion powder, herbs and olive oil. mix well Serve with grated Parmesan and cheese or garlic bread. **** Tips and Tricks for this Recipe: Put a lid on your pot while you are waiting for it to boil, it will come to a boil much faster While noodles are cooking sprinkle cheese on whole wheat toast and broil in oven or in toaster oven.
  • Grated Parmesan freezes well. I buy 5 ounce containers when they are on sale and keep the extra's in the freezer for up to 4 months. Throw leftover hot dog and hamburger buns in the freezer and pull them out to make quick garlic or cheese toast.
