Ditalini with Tomatoes and Fresh Mozz

I got the original recipe from Giada's Everday Dinners cookbook http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/little-thimbles-sciue-sciue-recipe/index.html
and just fixed a few things to make it a bit easier and work-week friendly!

1/2 box Ditalini
14.5oz can diced tomatoes (the kind with garlic, basil and oregano)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2tbs olive oil
handful of basil leaves, chopped
1/4lb fresh mozz, diced

Prepare pasta per package directions to al dente.

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat and add garlic. Simmer for 1 minute. Drain about 1/2 of the liquid from tomatoes and then add to garlic. Continue to simmer for about 6 minutes. Add pasta and mix together. Remove from heat. Add mozz and basil and combine.

Enjoy!
