We got invited to some friends for dinner last night and were asked to bring a side dish. So this is what we decided on. It was super yummy!!

Very Easy Pasta Salad

1 pound box thin spaghetti
2-3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp dried basil
1/2 red onion, chopped
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 bag salad shrimp (optional)
1/2 C shredded parmesan cheese

Cook spaghetti as directed on package. Drain.
In the meantime, mix olive oil, garlic and basil in a large serving bowl. Add tomatoes and onions. Once pasta is ready add it and stir. Finally add the salad shrimp and toss lightly. Top with Parmesan cheese. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
