Bow tie pasta is shaped like bow ties and can also be called farfalle. This is a great recipe because it is so simple yet oh so healthy! One can (28 oz.) of whole, peeled plum tomatoes, drained and chopped may be substituted for the fresh tomatoes.

1 lb. 80% lean ground beef

3 cloves garlic, crushed

2 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1-1/2 cup uncooked bow tie pasta

2 tablespoons fresh basil, sliced

3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated

1. In large nonstick skillet, brown ground beef and garlic over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until beef is no longer pink, breaking beef up into 3/4-inch crumbles. Pour off drippings.

2. Stir in tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes; stir occasionally.

3. Meanwhile cook pasta according to package directions. Toss beef mixture and basil with pasta. Sprinkle with cheese.

Makes 4 servings.
