Here's another simple pasta dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal and is a great vegetarian dish as well. Easy, quick and full of flavor. I just love these kinds of dishes, don't you? I made this pasta with grape tomatoes and basil last week and we all loved it.
Buen Provecho!

This is like summer on a plate! The colors are so vibrant and healthy; now, I am getting very excited to plant my herb garden. The weather is finally warming up and I have plans to put in a variety of basil (which can be so expensive when buying at the grocery store). Your recipe has really brightened up my morning!

What a delicious sounding dish, I love the extra zing that grape tomatoes add and confess like the "pop" they can make when you bite into them.
