The other day i bought a small pot of sweet basil and rosemary plants from Sungai Buloh nursery. The sweet basil still looking good but rosemary already half die..so sad..I prepared this easy and yummy pasta for a lunch the other day, love the nice aroma from sweet basil when toss together with this pasta.
I like to using fresh tomato to cook pasta nowadays, taste better than those ready pasta sauce from supermarket..slightly sour taste from tomato and nice aroma from sweet basil leaves, they just made this pasta tasted so refreshing !!
