Pasta triangles with fresh tomato and basil

(serves 1)

Hmm.. lately i have been stuck at home writing my thesis ~ it feels a bit like house or computer arrest, or what i imagine that to feel like. Amidst the ramblings to myself, continuous editing of the same document, falling-asleep buttocks muscles from endless hours in front of the computer and somewhat stressful deadlines... there is some joy! Hurray for fresh pasta and super quick and scrumptious meals!
