Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Substitute 1-1/2 tsp. dried basil leaves for fresh basil.

Mincing Garlic

Using flat edge of chef's knife, smash down on garlic clove to loosen skin. Remove skin. Cut the peeled garlic clove into thin slices. Then, using chef's knife and holding down tip end, cut back and forth across the garlic until finely minced.

Very good and similar to another recipe I've been making for years. I did add black olives and some pepperoni. I wanted to try Radiatore but couldn't find it so used farfalle which worked great. May add some baby spinach leaves next time.

This is perfect for getting fresh from the garden taste with tomatoes and basil. It's easy, light, and tasty. I even follow the directions as written, something I don't usually do.

It was so good! My boyfriend never associated a fresh taste with pasta. He always pictured things like a rich marinara. We both loved this and took left overs for lunch!

Great way to use up tomatoes and basil. Raw garlic is a little too strong for me, I might cook it in some of the olive oil first next time. The leftovers were really good. Can't wait to try again with cooked garlic.
