Fresh Tomato & Basil Pasta Toss

Tonight was a meatless meal that was quick and easy to prepare. I liked how refreshing this pasta dish was, especially paired with a nice light green salad. You could easily add grilled chicken to this dish for a more filling meal and/or substitute with whole wheat pasta for more whole grains.
