Use cream sherry to enrich a tasty mix of tomatoes, garlic, basil, mint, olive oil and hot pepper flakes. After steeping for two hours, use some of the liquid to flavor hot pasta. Add Asiago and fontina cheese, then toss everything together.

This dish is so easy to make, but tastes like you slaved away in the kitchen. Makes an excellent main course, or add spinach or asparagus to turn it into a meal in itself.

Pasta with Basil

Submitted by: Taste of Home's Fast Family Favorites 
If you like basil, you'll enjoy the Italian flavor of this speedy side dish. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Stir in basil; cook and stir for 1 minute. Drain pasta; add to basil mixture. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese just until it begins to melt. Serve immediately.
