Sometimes you just want something simple for dinner, and this Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce is about as simple as it gets. 
Sometimes you just need something easy for dinner, dontchya?
Sometimes you just want something a little more hearty for dinner.
Sometimes the only thing you want for dinner is a really good plate of pasta.
All right, do you have 15-20 minutes to prepare dinner? You do? Well this Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce is the next thing you should really prepare…..no joke it is that good!! But first , I wanted to be clear. You’ll have to buy a heap of fresh tomatoes, parsley, garlic and basil. Because this isn’t tomato sauce (aka ketchup) that you have on a sausage. This is pasta sauce, made with fresh tomatoes, just like I said above.
Now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s get cracking. 
This is an extremely simple pasta recipe that I love to make when I don't really feel like cooking !
