Fresh Tomato Basil Pasta

once again, I apologize for the picture quality. My camera isn't the best, but trust me when I say it's something worth making.

2 large ripe, firm tomatoes, diced (about 2 cups)
1 Tb fresh chopped basil or 1 tsp dried basil
1-2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
½ tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper
Shredded Parmesan cheese
6-8 oz angel hair pasta
optional: sliced grilled chicken.

Mix together the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Let “marinate” on counter for 30 minutes. Cook the pasta al dente. Cook tomato mixture on a frying pan (with no oil) for about 5 minutes for all the ingredients to absorb together (if you also top it with chicken, add it in to cook with all the ingredients). Drain pasta and toss with the tomato mixture. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan. Mmmmmm
