Tasty Tuesday: Angel Hair with Tomato and Basil

In November 2008 you could sign up to become a member of the Muir Glen's Connoisseurs Club AND get an awesome freebie in the mail! It turned out to be two cans of Fire Roasted Tomatoes and two cans of Halley Thirty-One Fifty-Five Reserve tomatoes. I remember it being a nice surprise on my door step that day.


Since I have a few cans of the Fire Roasted Tomatoes I thought I would try this recipe in our Eat from the Pantry Challenge
