Hi guys!! I have a real quickie for ya today! I'm still in the throes of heirloom madness, so just a simple and perfectly delicious bowl of fettuccine...bathed in the flavors of summer...to get ya through the day. I'm busy at work racking my brain, researching, making shopping lists, and praying my dish for PFB challenge #2 will turn out as the way I plan!! I want to say
thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who took a little time to vote for me in round one...I appreciate more than words can express!
Pasta w/ Cherry Heirloom Tomatoes
adapted from Mark Bittman's Kitchen Express
Boil salted water for
pasta and cook it; meanwhile, cook
a 4 minced
garlic cloves in
olive oil for a couple of minutes, until fragrant. Add about a pound of
whole cherry or grape quartered heirloom tomatoes to the pan and cook over low heat. When a few have
burst softened, turn off the heat. Drain the pasta and toss it gently with the tomatoes. Season with
salt and lots of freshly ground
pepper; serve with freshly chopped
basil and/or freshly grated
Parmesan.

So simple yet so tasty.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have those heirloom tomatoes in my garden and on my pasta. That's one thing that doesn't do too well here. Due to fruit flies. And it seems the hothouse raised ones that have been refrigerated, just don't taste as good.
