SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH TOMATO-BASIL SAUCE

Ok... who doesn't know how to make spaghetti? It is everyone's standby right? Well, I had some fresh basil and I have been trying to find some fun things to do with it, and I found this recipe on cooks.com and it just turned out really fresh and nice. So if you are making spaghetti tonight, add a few new fun things to it to spice it up.

SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH TOMATO-BASIL SAUCE
1/3 c. olive oil
1 sm. red serrano chili,
sliced 3 garlic cloves, minced
3 lbs. plum tomatoes, seeded & chopped (If you don't have fresh tomatoes use two cans of diced tomatoes)
1/3 c. chopped fresh basil
Salt & pepper 16 oz. spaghetti
Grated Parmesan cheese
(I also like to add some ground beef and sauteed onions because everyone needs their meat. :)

Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add chili and garlic and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and simmer until soft, about 2 minutes. Add basil,salt and pepper. Cook until pink, about 10 minutes. Pour over cooked spaghetti. Sprinkle with cheese. Serves 4.
