Do you want a
different side dish or even a main dish?
This is definitely not your mama’s pasta with tomato sauce!
This recipe came
from a 1990 Hometown Collection of America’s Best Recipes Cookbook and was
submitted by The Women’s Art Guild, Laguna Gloria Art Museum in Austin,
Texas. I have no recollection of where I
picked up this cookbook but it is filled with some tasty recipes.
If you adore ripe
tomatoes and pasta, you will enjoy this for a meal. It is a simple recipe that is easy to toss
together. The finished dish has a strong
tomato taste and the texture of the cheese becomes softer. I like it warm so I serve it
immediately. I’m guessing it would be
fine if it were served with the pasta at room temperature. It is definitely different!

So fresh looking and delicious, I just love mine like this, like a margarita style pizza pasta!
Lovely dish, although I need to comment. I'm ok with removing the skins of tomatoes. But the juicy centers where the seeds are comprise about 90 % of the tomato flavor, so I would never discard that. There are few things as delectible as tomato with basil.
Que delicia de plato de pasta, me encanta.
Saludos
This sounds delicious but I would add a bit of chilie as well, Have masses in the garden and we both love the bite. Diane
Looks really fresh and delicious! I like it warm :) Happy Friday!
