Tomato=Basil Pasta Sauce

I loved how this tasted. It was light and not heavy on your stomach in the hot weather like reg sauce is.

  •  1 can condensed Broccoli cheese soup
  • 3/4 cup half and half or milk
  • 3 fresh plum tomato's, coarsely chopped. About 1 cup.  Or 4 canned plum tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil leaves, or 1 tsp dried basil
  • 3 cups hot cooked fettuccine
In 2-quart saucepan, stir soup, half-and-half, chopped tomatoes, Parmesan cheese and Basil.Over medium heat, heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pour over fettuccine; toss gently to coat. Garnish with sliced fresh plum tomato and fresh basil sprig, if desired.
