Well, it’s finally here! The party that Lis and I like to call the biggest patio party in the world has finally arrived.
Bloggers from all over the world are streaming in bringing with them all sorts of captivating offerings. For those of you arriving a bit late, not to worry, there’s still plenty of room on the table.
Besides my mother’s peperonata, I’m bringing one of my very favourite dishes: Linguine with Cherry Tomato Sauce. It’s a dish of my own invention, not that there was really that much to invent as this couldn’t be an easier dish to make.
Take some ripe cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Toss them in a pan with lots of olive oil and Maldon salt. Add a clove of garlic, some hot pepper and pletny of fresh basil. Cook for about 20 minutes until you have a creamy sauce. Toss with your favourite pasta.
Okay! It’s time to eat. Dai! Tutti a tavola!
Ciao!

That’s perfect! I can use the last of the cherry tomatoes I bought last week! Add olive oil and basil: life is good!

I am looking forward to all the posts for La Fiesta!!! I have also tagged you for a MEME. I know we get lots of these and you are not obligated to try it, but your name began with the letter “I”. There are only so many hours in the day designated for blogging!!!

So glad I checked in today – I came home with a bag full of home-grown cherry tomatoes from my aunt. Made this for dinner – delicious! Thanks!

That looks so wonderfully fresh! I wish I had something to bring to the party but it’s wet season is here and things are a bit dampish in the markets…
Lisa
If you don’t make me a batch of that for myself I’m not going to be a happy camper.
Looks SO GOOD!

I agree — this is a terrific dish for the occasion, and any time I need my tomato fix. Of course, fresh tomatoes hot from the sun are best!
Mia from Nosh
MMMMM, I love it! The simplest things are the best. Good cherry tomatoes, good olive oil, spicy chili….move over, i’m digging in!
Paz
Very, very nice! I’m digging in, too.

I looooooved this! I made it for my roommates for dinner with the leftover cherry tomatoes from last weeks trip home (wonderful maters from my neighbors farm). I tweaked it and used oregano cause we had no basil… and no money to buy any *ha*. But it was still excellent.

This was excellent! Thanks for the great recipe!

Also delicious with canned Italian cherry tomatoes – when fresh are not in season!
