I found this recipe on Martha Stewart’s page where you may watch a short video of it being prepared.
I changed it just a bit, including the portions since it was for just Tom and I. This is the simplest of suppers, yet so delicious. A perfect summer meal. My pasta came from Italy and my olive oil from Tunisia, but everything else came from Windy Poplars Farm!
Cut up some tomatoes. Chop some basil and parsley. Put a few cloves of garlic through the garlic press. Add olive oil. Sprinkle with salt (and pepper, if you like).
Cook pasta. Drain. Put pasta in your bowl or on a plate, and top with the mixture.

I have all the ingredients fresh from the farmers market (well from a couple of days ago). This may have to be dinner tonight or tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteYou'll love it! So fresh and delicious.
DeleteSometimes the very simplest things can be the best, especially if fresh, just picked vegetables and herbs.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteWhat a delightful summer dish -- looks healthy, nourishing, and delicious! Can't beat home grown for freshness and best flavor. :)
ReplyDeleteI pretty much eat tomatoes only in the summer now. When the local greenhouse ones come into the Co-op, I begin buying them.
DeleteSometimes the simplest ingredients make a wonderful meal. I need to bookmark this, we'd love this one day next week,
ReplyDeleteWe loved it!
DeleteLike you, I went to the Farmers' Market this morning. Around 10 pounds of tomatoes and herbs are in the oven now, becoming slow-roasted tomatoes for the freezer. Your preparation appears to be similar but quicker.

Windy Poplars Farm is MY farm! We have a small garden this year, and are mostly eating the tomatoes right off the vine, though I've stewed, strained, and frozen some for winter tomato sauce.
DeleteYumm yumm. I have tomatoes and basil in my garden.
ReplyDeleteI like your header photo. Baaaaaa
They are great sheep. More about them in "blog header picture"
DeleteLooks so good
ReplyDeleteand will try...
I must make it again soon. So great!
DeleteThis looks wonderful. Can't beat fresh!
ReplyDeleteAnd tastes even more wonderful!
DeleteFresh and simple - great! Have a great week. Cheers from Carole's Chatter
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteI think even I could manage this and it looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNothing complicated in my cooking!
DeleteI used to make a simple based tomato pasta sauce that was delicious. Haven't made it for ages for though. Might do this next week
ReplyDeleteI do, too. I actually posted a recipe a while back. Here if you are interested: http://lettersfromahillfarm.blogspot.com/2009/01/pizza-crust.html
DeleteThis looks and sounds wonderful. And if both my husband and I eat it, it won't won't matter that either one of us has fresh garlic breath! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love garlic, and have it fresh in a few things, including pesto. The best!
DeleteThis sounds so delicious and so easy - my kind of summer meal.
ReplyDeleteReally a great dish.
DeleteYum. Love those simple meals. I have spaghetti squash on hand that I would love tossed with something like this. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteI bet that would be delish!
DeleteI love a simple meal like this, but hubby would like some sort of meat added or on the side. Chicken, pork or even salmon would do. :)
ReplyDeleteHaven't had it in 45 years!
DeleteThis looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteSo delicious sounding .... and looking. Your food photography is great. It's exactly the right time of year for a recipe like this here too.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Usually I think it is blurry.
DeleteNan, I usually don't eat pasta but the simplicity of this recipe and dish makes me want to try it this weekend. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt would be just as good with brown rice or potatoes, I'm sure. I plan to try both of those varieties next summer!
DeleteOh lovely! This looks so yummy ♥
