Short and sweet. Just like these little tomatoes.

Today I’m not going to wax on about my love of this juicy little fruit, or debate about whether the tomato belongs in the fruit or veggie category or the virtues of heirloom versus good old standard beefsteaks.

Because I have 55 other recipes for you to check out from fab-o bloggers from around the web. And you know you want to see them, you know you want to cook thanks to them.

But first, while I have you hostage…

You should be able to tell I’m a fan of tomatoes, and when I saw this recipe on the cover of the August 2011 issue of Martha Stewart Living, I gave up my no-buy-on-the-newsstand decree and resurrected my old habit.

I’m so pre-recession like.

I made this recipe a few times last year and it quickly became one for my arsenel. One reason I like it so much is that it tastes great hot, at room temp or even cold.

But then I’m one of those weirdos who will stand at the open fridge, door swung wide open, digging into tupperware filled with last night’s pasta leftovers.

I don’t know why, but leftover pasta just tastes that much better to me. Cook-koo.

 

 

Why prolong the agony? Get your scrolling finger limbered up and let’s move this post along to my list of 55 Fresh and Tasty Tomato Recipes thanks to some amazing food bloggers from across the www.
