Capture the flavor of vine-ripened tomatoes with this elegant-yet-quick, fresh tomato sauce. Although it's an uncooked sauce, the beans are heated briefly in the olive oil and garlic to infuse them with flavor.

I am adding this to Meatless Monday menu. I'd eliminate the pasta as the carb count is way too high. Might add a fresh from the garden yellow bell pepper to take the place of the pasta. There is plenty of basil; cinnamon lemon and regular. Then next I will try it with the pasta but not the beans. Got to be 30g carbs max. I add low/free carb vegetables for the bulk. This might be as good as the cucumber and black eye pea salad. Took it to church recently and they all loved it. Read More

This was a very good dish. Simple and delicious. I added a couple of anchovies to the oil before adding the garlic and beans to add a little richness. The only thing I would do different next time is add a little white wine as the beans made it slightly dry. Otherwise I would definitely make this again. Read More

"Go to" meal This is one of my favorite "go to" recipes. It's easy to remember all of the ingredients if (like me) you find yourself roaming around the aisle of the grocery store at the last minute wondering what you want to make for dinner. I like to use kalamata olives instead of oil-cured. I also throw in some capers. Fresh ripe tomatoes is a must to truly get the most out of this dish. If you can't find fresh basil I would recommend using basil infused olive oil if it is available. Pros: Simple fresh delicious Read More
