Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce

Last night's pasta dinner was a meal we cooked for friends. We could not have picked a better dish to share with them. They raved about the dish and the freshness. We did not get to take a picture, so the picture above is from www.allrecipes.com.

We made dinner at their house, and they supplied the wine and fire!

Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package dry penne pasta (we used wheat spaghetti)
8 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup Italian dressing
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1) Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place the penne pasta in the pot, cook 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.

2) In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the tomatoes, Italian dressing, basil, red onion, and Parmesan cheese.
