Home Is Where My Story Begins

Tomatoes, Basil, and Mozzarella

Last week I shared pictures of the tomatoes I picked up at the local market.

Well, I bought a few too many.  After making our mini pizzas, we ended up with quite a few extra tomatoes.  Since I had a little extra basil too, I had to put them to good use.  I made one of my favorite pasta dishes.


I don’t actually have a recipe for this.  I just throw stuff together.  I cut up all of the tomatoes, and the rest of the basil I had, and put them in a bowl.  Then, I drizzled a little olive oil over the top, and sprinkled a bit of salt in the bowl.  I let the mixture sit for a bit while I boiled the noodles.  In the end, I tossed the olive oil mixture with the noodles, and threw in some freshly shredded mozzarella.  I topped it with a little chicken from the crockpot, and dinner was served.  Quick, simple, and fresh.  Perfect.

Happy cooking!
