Fresh Tomato Basil Pasta with Lemon & Garlic
One of the keys to this dish is finding ripe, flavorful tomatoes to bring out that summer freshness. It's a very simple dish, basically done in the time it takes the pasta to cook! If you're really not a fan of raw garlic or shallot, go ahead and lightly saute them first to remove the "bite". Enjoy!
