TOMATO-BUTTER PASTA
When you have ripe, perfect tomatoes that you want to enjoy without much fuss, this is the pasta to make. (If your tomatoes are tasteless, your pasta will be too, so don't try this with the off-season grocery store variety.) It's inspired by pan con tomate, in which grated tomato and its juices are spooned onto garlic toasts. Here, with vigorous stirring, grated tomato and cold butter form a glossy, light, pretty-in-pink sauce that tastes of sweet, just-cooked tomato. The red-pepper flakes, garlic, basil and Parmesan bring out the flavor of the tomato, and while there are plenty of other ways to embellish further, you don't need to: This is lazy, easy summer cooking at its best. (P.S. Leftovers make a great room-temperature pasta salad.) To get vegetarian recipes like this one delivered to your inbox, sign up for The Veggie newsletter.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- Meanwhile, using the large holes of a box grater, grate the cut ends of the tomato into a large bowl. Discard or compost skins. Grate the butter into the bowl as well. Using the small holes of the box grater, grate the garlic into the bowl. Add the red-pepper flakes, and season generously with salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Return the drained pasta to the pot, along with the bowl of grated tomato and butter. Set over medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and glosses the pasta, 2 to 3 minutes (the sauce will thicken as it sits). Add pasta water as needed to emulsify the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with more red-pepper flakes, black pepper, basil and Parmesan as desired.

Steps:
- Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a 12" skillet or wide heavy saucepan over medium-high. Add garlic, then tomatoes, pepper, sugar, and 1 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes burst and release their juices to form a sauce, 6-8 minutes.
- Toss pasta with tomato sauce and basil. Top with Parmesan.
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your sauce. Choose ripe, in-season tomatoes that are sweet and juicy.
- Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. You can roast them in the oven or on the grill.
- Use a variety of nuts: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of nuts. Walnuts, almonds, pecans, and pine nuts are all great options.
- Toast the nuts: Toasting the nuts brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of your sauce. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in tomato sauce. Choose a good quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Simmer the sauce for a while: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld together and develop. Simmer it for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta: Tomato nut sauce is delicious served over any type of pasta. Some good options include spaghetti, penne, or rigatoni.
Conclusion:
Tomato nut pasta sauce is an easy and delicious way to enjoy fresh tomatoes. It's a versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a flavorful and satisfying sauce that the whole family will love.
