Use Garden Tomatoes for This Tomato Basil Pasta Recipe
I have beautiful red ripe fresh tomatoes in my garden and I’m going to use some tonight. This tomato basil pasta recipe is absolutely perfect for a hot summer night.
Not to mention the only thing you have to cook is the pasta!
One of our favorite summer meals is this delicious pasta recipe. It’s a family favorite that I got from a friend many years ago. This is the time of year when I typically make it often with our abundant supply of garden-fresh tomatoes.
This year we are having issues with tomato blight which you can read about HERE
However, there are enough tomatoes to make this easy tomato pasta dish.
The topping is basically a tomato salsa made with fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh garlic and sea salt. In fact, I have everything but the salt, fresh from my garden.
The pasta is a creamy mixture of ricotta, fontina, mozzarella, and also parmesan cheese. If you’re a cheese lover like me, you’re going to love this.

I hope you enjoy this easy recipe as much as we do.
I really love making this when we have guests out on the boat for the day. When we get back home I can quickly throw together the tomato salsa and cheese mixture and then let them stand while we enjoy our company. At the last minute, I boil the pasta and throw it together.
You can serve the pasta dish with some crusty french bread, a simple salad, and most certainly a glass of wine.
I absolutely love pasta bowls. I use them for everything from loads of fresh eggs (did you know that you don’t have to refrigerate fresh eggs right out of the coop), to fresh fruit? Here are just a few of my favorites.
I’ve also recently started making my own pasta with an attachment for my Kitchenaid. I was inspired by Leslie @ my100yearoldhome.com. She has the most awesome home and is so crafty and creative. If you don’t follow along with her, you should.
