3 Ingredient Tomato Basil Pasta

Hi Everyone!

I know we are all busy students who never have time (or money!) to go grocery shopping but get a hold of this pasta. It has THREE INGRDIENTS and it is utterly delicous.

Okay I lied it takes a bit more than three ingredients, but only 3 you have to buy :). Fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, and linguine (or literally any type of pasta you have). How hard is that? And I know, I know, fresh basil is expensive and it sadly goes bad easily, so you can subistute for that basil you buy in a tube (but it wont taste as good!!!!) and use it for other recipies too.

How YUMMY does this look??

Check out the easy recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
