Simple and aromatic, this pasta lets fresh basil shine—tossed with olive oil, garlic, and sometimes tomato. A bright, herbaceous, and quick option.

Ingredients

    2 1/2 cups uncooked small tube pasta

    1 small onion, chopped

    2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil

    2 tablespoons dried basil

    1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Method

    Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Stir in basil; cook and stir for 1 minute. Drain pasta; add to basil mixture. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese just until it begins to melt. Serve immediately.
