Five Ingredient Pasta Toss image

Pasta is tossed with white beans, roasted tomatoes, fresh basil, and a garlic infused olive oil. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the sauce and any leftover garlic olive oil. This isn't a hot pasta dish so it's perfect for summer.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
8 ounces farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 (15 ounce) can seasoned small white beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, with juice
¼ cup chopped fresh basil leaves, or amount to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the olive oil and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Place the pasta, beans, tomatoes, basil, and 2 tablespoons of the garlic olive oil in a large bowl; toss gently until combined. Serve the remaining olive oil at the table to drizzle over individual servings.

TONY'S SUMMER PASTA



Tony's Summer Pasta image

Tony is my husband. He brought home a recipe he had gotten from someone at work, and it was adapted over time to this recipe--so I named it Tony's Summer Pasta. The tomatoes and cheese are marinated in oil, basil, and garlic, and then tossed with the hot linguine. The tomatoes are warmed and the cheese melts ever so slightly, creating a simple but delectable meal.
