Tomatoes and Green Beans and Basil, Oh My!

Happy Friday, all!

Tomorrow I'll be attending a pig roast wedding celebration, so I figure tonight's meal should be light and easy (and without meat). Cherry tomatoes, green beans, basil, broccoli, and garlic can all be found at the farmers market this time of the season!

Angel Hair with Cherry Tomatoes and Green Beans

Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp salt and pepper, each
3 large garlic cloves, crushed
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
Handful of green beans, cut in tiny pieces
Handful of basil
1 lb. angel hair pasta
Salt/Pepper
2 broccoli heads

Directions:
1. In large skillet, add 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, pepper, crushed garlic, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped green beans, and chopped basil. Saute over medium heat for a few minutes, until skins start to peel away from tomatoes.
2. In large saucepan, cook angel hair pasta according to package instructions. Drain and add to skillet with vegetables.
3. Steam broccoli in a medium saucepan for 5-6 minutes.
4. Toss everything together and serve!
