Рецепт Angel hair pasta with tomatoes and basil
Pasta works out pretty well in the summer. There’s no need to crank the oven and you really don’t have to stand over the stove and mind the pot while the noodles boil away.
So as natural as it may be to cook pasta on a summer evening, it sure took us awhile to decide what was for dinner.
You see the Omnivore is a bit *ahem* possessive over his tomatoes. He grows them so I guess I should just let him be in charge of them, but it is tough.
He decides when they are to be picked from the bush, the order of which we use them, and whether a certain dish is worthy of his fruit. By the way, we have a ton of tomatoes, so it isn’t as if a screwed up recipe would be the end of the world!
Generally speaking, the Omnivore doesn’t want his tomatoes cooked. He wants them raw and au naturel. The recipe highlighted the fruit just the way he wanted them and also included basil: a match made in heaven.
