FRESH TOMATO PASTA
This is an extremely simple pasta recipe that I love to make when I don't really feel like cooking! I use rigatoni, but you can use whatever pasta you prefer. This is especially delicious with tomatoes fresh from your garden. Serve with garlic bread and a simple lettuce salad with Italian dressing.

Steps:
- Finely chop tomatoes, basil, parsley, and garlic, and mix together with oil (or pulse ingredients, including oil, in a food processor to blend).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente. Drain pasta, and toss it in a serving bowl with the raw sauce. Transfer to 6 shallow bowls, and drizzle with oil. Serve with cheese.
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is key to a great tomato pasta toss. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and slightly soft to the touch.
- Don't overcook the tomatoes. You want them to soften slightly, but not turn mushy. Cook them for just a few minutes, until they are heated through and juicy.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices. This will add depth and flavor to your dish. Some good options include basil, oregano, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Use good quality pasta. This is another important ingredient for a great tomato pasta toss. Look for pasta that is made with high-quality durum wheat and has a slightly rough texture.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and has a better texture than overcooked pasta.
Conclusion:
A fresh tomato pasta toss is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
