One Pot Basil Pasta Recipe

      I had this one pot pasta recipe sitting in my drafts for a longtime. Came across this one in a random post in FB. It looked so inviting to try, as the ingredients were so simple and most importantly, this being a single pot meal :P meaning less dishes to clean !!! The cherry tomatoes and the basil look so lovely in that video. Haven't tasted basil until I tried this one. Loved the unique flavor brought in by the addition of basil. So, one more recipe has got added to my list of easy breakfast items !!!
