Last Night's Dinner--Tomato Brie Pasta

Adapted from allrecipes.com

* 1 (12 ounce) package bow tie pasta (we used whole wheat penne)
* 2 (14.5 ounce) cans Italian-style diced tomatoes (we used fresh)
* 1/2 pound Brie cheese, cubed
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

DIRECTIONS

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat tomatoes over medium-high heat. Bring to a slow boil and stir in cheese. Reduce heat to medium-low, and stir to melt cheese.
3. Toss pasta with tomato sauce and top with chopped basil before serving.


Review:
This was quick, easy, and tasty, if a bit bland. Music Man made it since I was at Pilates, and added (wisely) half a chopped onion and 4-5 cloves of garlic. Did I mention that we love garlic? In any case, I also added some Italian seasoning to my portion, and that helped things along a bit. Could've uses some crushed red pepper flake, for sure.
