EASY PASTA SALAD

2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 large red onion, chopped
1 red, 1 orange, and 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped

Put pasta in a large salad bowl.

Here's an easy and tasty tomato and pasta dish.
1/2 lb. pasta, angel hair, linguine, any kind will work
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 or 4 roma tomatoes, diced (you can use any kind of tomatoes you have)
1/2 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped (I'm a garlic freak so I use more like 5 or 6)
1 tbsp basil, again I usually add more
2 tsp chicken boulion
1 tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste
Cook pasta until done to your liking. In a pan cook onion and garlic until they start to soften, a few minutes, add chopped tomatoes, basil, boulion, salt and pepper. Cook until the tomatoes start to soften and break down a little, add butter to help thicken and toss with the pasta, top with grated cheese. You can also add a couple spoons of the pasta water to the mix if you like a little more sauce.
