Cream Cheese Pasta

From: Brooke the cook!

3 c. tomatoes, chopped (I buy canned diced tomatoes)
1 pkg cream cheese, cubed
3/4 c. olive oil
1/3 c. fresh basil, chopped (use 1/3 of it for dried)
1 T red whine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 t. each salt and pepper
2 pkg. 9 oz pasta of your choice

-This was intentionally a crock pot recipe but that is the way I like to do it. I throw everything in the crock pot and cook on low 3-4 hours stirring occasionally. I really just needs to melt the cream cheese and get warm. You can just heat everything in the microwave or on the stove stirring occasionally.
-Serve over pasta.
