Tonight, decided to have an easy dinner night to end the week and made some yummy pasta.
I cheated and used a jar pasta sauce tonight because I wanted to save time, however, making your own sauce is just as easy.
Below is my favorite recipe for a Tomato-Basil sauce courtesy of Tyler Florence (holler!).
Ingredients
3 tablespoons, extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (16-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
Pinch of sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 fresh basil leaves, chopped
Directions
Coat a sauce pan with 2 tablespoons of the oil and warm over medium-low heat. Add garlic until cooked. Add crushed tomatoes and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Turn up the heat slightly to medium and simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the basil and the remaining olive oil.

I used whole wheat thin spaghetti noodles (my favorite) and added mushrooms, olives and spinach.
This is also awesome for leftovers! Definitely give this one a try!
