PENNE WITH CHERRY TOMATOES & FRESH BASIL
I found the basis for this recipe in a magazine somewhere. This is not a saucy dish, but it's healthy and yummy. Though the recipe calls for just a few basic ingredients, I've added veggies (mushrooms, broccoli) and chicken (Schwan's pre-cooked fajita chicken is really good in this--just thaw it out and throw it in!) to make it a full meal. It's easiest to cut everything up while the pasta water heats.

Steps:
- Heat water for pasta.
- Heat olive oil in large skillet and saute garlic for a minute or so.
- Add tomatoes, salt & pepper.
- Start cooking the pasta now.
- Cook tomatoes over medium heat for ~7 minutes.
- Add basil. (If you're adding additional ingredients, do so here.) Simmer 3-5 minutes (or until your veggies are as tender as you want them).
- **I've found that adding a little bit of pasta water to tomato mixture before you drain the penne really evens out the dish.
- Toss tomato mixture and parmesan with pasta. Serve with fresh Italian or French bread.
