You Say Tomato, I Say YUMMY!

It has been exciting days in my garden of late, as the tomatoes are starting to ripen up and turn RED.  

I have been snacking off the DELISHIOUSNESS that are my little cherry tomatoes, 

but this evening I harvested my first big tomato... and it was a MUTANT!  

But, I used it for my supper anyways and 

it. was. yum.

 

 My husband cannot eat tomatoes (his loss, my gain...) so tonight I enjoyed some Fasta Pasta a recipe taken from a Best of Bridge cookbook, I believe, where tomatoes are the STAR!

FASTA PASTA:

2 cups of halved cherry tomatoes (or any tomatoes, really)

1/2 cup of chopped fresh basil or 1/2 Tbsp dried (I enjoyed some lovely basil from my kitchen garden)

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 Tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Combine ingredients and let sit.

Make enough pasta for two (I used egg noodles tonight)

Add 1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese

Toss everything together, cover and set aside until cheese melts.

(I also added in some leftover roasted chicken from last night's supper)
