Macaroni & Tomatoes

1/2 lb. box of your favorite pasta (Seashells, Ziti. or Rotini are good choices!)
Put in large pot with approx. 1 1/2-2 qts. of water
Cook until tender but slightly firm to bite. About 7-10 min. (pasta will be larger than it was, but not overdone-”mushy”)
Depending on your preference, drain part of the water off- ( for a “more like soup” dish, leave most of the water in pot.)
Add 1 quart of canned tomatoes.
Also add approx. 1-1 1/2 Tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive oil, or your favorite vegetable oil.
Salt and Black pepper to taste.
Bring to full rolling boil for a few minutes and then let simmer about 5 minutes.
Enjoy!

Note: You can adjust quantities of Pasta and tomatoes as needed for number of servings needed.
Leftover Macaroni and Tomatoes, when stored covered in refrigerator and then reheated, is delicious!

    If it had not been for macaroni and tomatoes, my housemates and I would have surely starved during college! We ate this at least once a week and sometimes more. This is a wonderful recipe!
