1/2 C grated Parmesan cheese
Saute onion and garlic in oil. Chop tomatoes (use fresh or canned). Add tomatoes, basil, salt, & pepper to onion. Simmer 15-20 min.
Cook fettuccine according to package, drain well.

***My mom and I cooked this recipe for the first time at her house since my family doesn't eat tomato based pastas. For those who know my mom, she loves to cook and I consider her an expert. She said this is a winner and a keeper, which is saying alot from someone who reads cookbooks like novels and lives to cook & cooks to live. I also liked this recipe as well. We used both canned and fresh tomatoes...about half of each. We also served grilled chicken breasts that had been marinated in Italian dressing over this pasta dish. I think it would be good with grilled or sauteed shrimp.
***This dish is a healthy, low fat meal.
I can't remember where I got this recipe. It was somewhere on the net but can't find the original post
