Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams bowtie pasta, OR any bite size pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • 4 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 large yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • 1-1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped, optional

Instructions
 

  • First, cook the pasta according to the package directions until the pasta is tender. Drain the pasta in a colander and then set it aside for just a couple of minutes while you prepare the rest of the dish.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and yellow pepper to the pan and cook an additional 6-7 minutes or until the peppers are tender.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the pasta, tomato mixture, basil, pepper, salt, and cooked chicken if using that. Lightly mix the ingredients using a large spoon. Then, gently stir in the mozzarella cheese until the cheese begins to melt and becomes very flavorful. Serve with a green salad.

Notes

Easily under $1 per serving, even with the chicken.
