    1 tsp. minced garlic
    1/2 tsp. extra light virgin olive oil

    1 tsp. dried basil or 4 minced leaves fresh basil
    2 cups diced tomatoes

    1 tsp. Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Sautee garlic in olive oil.

    It would be nice if with each recipe instead of 8 servicing, how about the size of serving.

    I made this last night for dinner and it was delicious! I used an Italian sausage from HEB (made from ground chicken with spinach, feta) and 5 cloves of garlic minced. It's in my recipe book as a keeper! - 2/25/11
