It’s tomato season and this recipe is delicious. Start by slicing up your tomatoes and then your onion. And then to that we’re going to add in some fresh basil. You can chop this as small or as large as you prefer. Then you’re going to add in some minced garlic and stir it together. Then of course we’re going to add in some olive oil and some salt and pepper to taste. After that, you’re going to cover it up and let it sit out for a minimum of 1 hour. Don’t put it in the fridge. You just leave it on your counter. Then you’re gonna cook your favorite pasta, whichever one you prefer, and top it with these amazing fresh ingredients. It tastes so good. And then, of course, you know, we’re going to add Parmesan cheese on top. That’s Jason’s favorite. But if you guys are like me, I topped mine with mozzarella. It’s amazing.
