    Bowtie Pasta with Simple Tomato Sauce | Healthy and delicious and only 9 ingredients. Ready to eat in less than 20 minutes! | heavenlyhomecooking.comOkay, I know that this is a summer recipe.  I know that it's almost fall.  I apologize.  We will return to our normal fall programming after this brief summer break.

    I've been wanting to make this recipe for a while, but for some inexplicable reason I hadn't given it a try.  It contains so many delicious things:  pasta, tomatoes, basil, red onion, garlic and vinegar and olive oil.  Also it just doesn't get any simpler.  It only uses 9 ingredients and is table ready in about 20 minutes.  You can use fresh tomatoes, but I opted for canned diced tomatoes.  As I mentioned in my post for Tomato Soup for Two, canned tomatoes provide more consistent flavor year-round than fresh tomatoes.

    Bowtie Pasta with Simple Tomato Sauce | Healthy and delicious and only 9 ingredients. Ready to eat in less than 20 minutes! | heavenlyhomecooking.comThis recipe comes from the Mayo Clinic cookbook of award winning recipes.  I've been wanting to add more healthy recipes to my cooking repertoire.  I've had this cookbook for a while, but to be honest, I've avoided making anything from it because the ingredient lists are so long for so many of the recipes.  You're probably put off by long ingredient lists too, right?  Fortunately, this delicious uses only 9 ingredients most of which you probably already have on hand.

    Bowtie Pasta with Simple Tomato Sauce | Healthy and delicious and only 9 ingredients. Ready to eat in less than 20 minutes! | heavenlyhomecooking.comIt makes a great side dish.  Enjoy it with a sandwich or wrap.  Or you can throw a bit of grilled chicken or shrimp in  to make it a main dish.  It's great for lunch or dinner.  This will definitely be one of my go-to recipes.  It's so delicious, healthy, quick and easy.  Also, it's inspired me to try more of the recipes from this cookbook, even if the ingredient list is long.  I hope you will give it a try and let me know what you think.
