Presto Pesto Pasta

You're tired, but want something quick and good...try Presto Pesto Pasta!

1 package spaghetti (or another noodle variety of your choosing)
2 large ripe tomatos
1/2 yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
1 jar pesto

Method:
--as you're cooking the pasta, saute chopped onion in olive oiled pan
--add in minced garlic once onion is soft (and some s&p if you haven't already)
--when the pasta is just about ready, add chopped tomatos to the onion & garlic
--drain pasta, return to pan
--add in pesto (we used about 3/4 of a jar for the 3/4 of a pasta package we used. you may add as much or as little as your pookie heart desires), followed by tomato/onion/garlic mixture
--serve with grated italian/parm cheese (again, whichever your pookie heart desires)
