• 4 1/2 ounces penne pasta
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

• 6 large plum tomatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped
• 1 sprig fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup julienne-cut fresh basil

• fresh ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted

1. In large pot boil pasta until al dente. Drain.
2. In heavy skillet, over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and garlic; saute until tender. Add tomatoes and thyme; cook stirring frequently, until tomatoes are hot, yet still retain their shape and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
3. Remove and discard fresh thyme sprig, if used. Add basil and drained pasta; toss until heated.
4. Transfer to serving bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle evenly with pine nuts.
