Sweet Basil Pasta

My favourite dish to make when CK surprises me with guests and I don't have any groceries in the house! Easy to make as little or as much as you need-- its a unique flavour profile, the sugar cuts the tomatoes well and the dried basil packs a delicious punch. If you're ambitious try with homemade farfalle. 

• 1 can diced tomatoes 
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups farfalle (bowtie) pasta
• Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add farfalle pasta and cook until al dente (approximately 10 minutes) 
2. In the meantime, in a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add diced tomatoes, dried basil and brown sugar and simmer to reduce (10-15 minutes)
3. Drain pasta and toss with tomato mixture, top with freshly grated parmesan.
