It's time for fresh tomatoes!
Here I am in the heart of fresh tomato country on the shores of Lake Erie in Southern Ontario. I'd like to share a wonderful recipe for an uncooked tomato pasta sauce that is delicious, and best served when we are enjoying field tomatoes at their peak.
Pour 1/2 cup olive oil in a bowl. Add two crushed garlic cloves, 8-10 chopped basil leaves (the more, the better), black pepper and salt to taste. Mix all ingredients. Chop about 5 large ripe tomatoes and put them in a larger bowl. Pour olive oil mixture over the tomatoes and stir. Let the tomatoes and oil marinate at room temperature for at least three hours. Your house will smell divine! Cook any type of hot pasta (penne or rigatoni work well). Drain and spoon on the tomato sauce. Serve immediately with grated cheese (asiago or parmesan taste great).
This is a quick, simple, tasty summer meal. Enjoy!
