End of Summer Pasta Recipe
(Serves 6)
2 pounds firm ripe red tomatoes, diced
3 Tbs olive oil
16 large basil leaves, washed and torn into strips
salt and pepper to taste
1 10oz. pkg frozen peas (I think the pkg I buy is larger and I eyeball the amount)
1/2 pound Rotini or Corkscrew pasta
2 Tbs butter
4 Tbs. fresh grated parmesan (I use the can sometimes too)
Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add diced tomatoes, half the basil strips and the salt and pepper. Cook stirring often, for at least 30 minutes or until thickened.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. When pasta is almost done, add the frozen peas to the tomatoe mixture. Blend well, cover and turn off heat. Pour drained pasta into large serving bowl and toss with butter, remaining basil leaves and the sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.

Sounds good! We might be over a night or two if we're not in the hospital. ;) The pasta recipe sounds really yummy!
Well don't say I didn't warn you if you come over for one meal and end up getting "throw together Thursday" or "where's the veggies Wednesday"! ;)
Your meals sound delicious! I've found that with me it's all or nothing! If I make a food plan we will have 6+ full meals a week....if NOT it's grilled cheese with a different side salad every night!
