...make Caprese Pasta Salad!
The organic cherry tomato plant I planted back in March has produced many tomatoes for me. This whole summer I have not had to buy tomatoes! Despite watering every day, sometimes twice, the plant has for some reason lost all its leaves yet is still ripening the existing tomatoes on its branches. I am expecting however that after all the existing tomatoes are ripened and picked that will be the end of the plant and I will replace the plant with something to survive the Fall/Winter months. I am pleased that my first gardening experience has been so fruitful.
Before work the other night this is the creation I came up with for dinner using some of my organic cherry tomatoes!
To make this you start with the following ingredients:
Cherry Tomatoes (cut in half)
Fresh Basil
Balsamic vinaigrette (I happen to really like the one from Trader Joe's, and it's fat free!)
Cooked Pasta (I would recommend bow tie, fussili or penne for this)
Fresh Mozzarella balls (cut in half)
Mix all ingredients in amounts that you like you really cannot go wrong any way! Enjoy it warm, cold, or over spinach as a salad.
