Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce

Chop 1 medium fully ripe tomato for each serving of pasta.  For example if you’re feeding four for dinner, chop four tomatoes.  Sprinkle with salt and set aside.  Cook your choice of pasta until it’s nearly done.  Add ½ cup frozen peas for each serving of pasta and add to the pasta just a minute or two before you remove from the heat.  Strain the pasta and the peas. Chop a handful of basil leaves.  Add the chopped tomatoes with their juice and basil leaves to the pasta and peas and toss well.  Sprinkle each serving with one tablespoon of freshly grated parmesan cheese.  Add a tossed green salad with low cal or no cal dressing and dinner is done.
