Pasta in Tomato & Basil Sauce

Ok, so tonight's dinner ended up being a success with the entire family. Long story short, I swore I had a recipe that I was going to tweak for this, and when it was time for me to prepare dinner I couldn't find the recipe anywhere. I had never made this before, so I went in completely on my own. I'm sure this isn't completely an original recipe, but I did not follow anything, so some measurements may be a little vague! Hope someone out there tries it and enjoys!

2 cans tomato soup
Fresh Basil (I used a small package of the organic basil, and used the whole thing) chopped
1 Green Pepper chopped
1/2 small onion chopped
Fresh spinach chopped
Garlic & Italian Seasoning to taste
1 pound pasta of your choice
Parmesean Cheese

Optional: Add some ground beef or cooked sausage (I did not do this, but I'm sure it would be good!)

Cook pasta according to directions on the package

In small saucepan combine two cans tomato soup and enough liquid to get to the desired consistency. (I used about 1/2 can water and 1/2 can vegetable broth) Add the rest of the veggies and herbs. You could add more or less depending on your desires. Stir frequently as sauce heats up, about 10 minutes.

Add sauce to the pasta. Sprinkle with parmesean cheese.

Makes 6 servings
