A Colorful, Easy Summer Pasta

 When you don't want to spend much time over a stove, a pleasant alternative is pasta with fresh vegetables. Start with some nicely chopped garlic and chives:

1. Sautée the chives and garlic and set aside.

2. Chop the freshly washed basil and add to the pan with the garlic and chives.

3. Squeeze the lemons and add olive oil (to taste--I use a lot) and pepper, and beat with a whisk. Set aside.

4. Slice the tomatoes and add to the basil-garlic-chive mix.

5. Boil your pasta. Add the veggie mix. Add Parmesan. Yum.
