Tomato Garden Pasta image

Aileen Sheehan of Stafford, Virginia mixes fresh tomatoes, green beans and pasta with a splash of balsamic vinaigrette, a hint of basil and chives and crumbled feta cheese for a colorful, Mediterranean delight. "I have served this many times, using fresh tomatoes from my garden. It's a wonderful side dish," Aileen says. "With Italian sausage and basil bread, it's a scrumptious meal."

Not a fan of this pasta dish. The sauce was bland and the pasta was mushy.

This pasta dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think it would have been better if I had used less olive oil.
