Tomatoes are in season and I am LOVE-ing it. My husband? Not so much, they’re not his favorite unless they’re disguised in salsa or enchilada sauce. But me? I’m crazy about fresh tomatoes. I’ll slice one up, sprinkle it with salt and lemon pepper, and devour the whole thing in about 4 seconds flat. Allllll summer long baby. Another thing I love? PASTA. Who doesn’t love pasta right? Typically I prefer a white sauce on my pasta but in this case, red is where it’s at. Fresh summer tomatoes roasted to beautiful delicious perfect, then pureed with a little seasoning and olive oil. Simmer that goodness for about 15 minutes and then toss with your favorite pasta noodles. And then… top it with cheeeeeeese. Lots and lots of freshly grated parmesan cheese. I made this pasta last week while my husband was on a business trip and got to eat the whole dang thing myself. It took me two days to get through all of those saucy noodles but it was so yummy I didn’t mind one bit. This is what summer cooking is all about don’t you think? Fresh fruits and veggies (I still insist that tomatoes are a vegetable despite the new-age popular opinion but… yeah. we won’t go there.) at the peak of their season used in a million different ways. I just adore summer and all of the good eats that come with it! Try this pasta sauce – it’s way to easy and too tasty to pass up!
