Summertime offers us farm fresh tomatoes, which are one of my favorite ingredients. I use them for everything from salads to pastas. My Tomato Pesto Pasta recipe combines this bounty of farm fresh ingredients into an amazing dinner!

 

Farm fresh tomatoes are one of my absolute favorite ingredients, so I set out to make a memorable meal that combines them with other fresh flavors. My tomato pesto pasta is the delicious result, but first I needed spice.

With a bountiful crop of fresh basil, I made an easy pesto sauce. Then I roasted farm fresh colorful cherry tomatoes and tossed them with cooked pasta. Finally, I added on my pesto for a wonderfully easy and quick summertime dinner that everyone will enjoy!

I’ve included links to my favorite ingredients when possible, but feel free to use any brand you love. I also recommend this KitchenAid Professional Stand Mixer for a great cooking experience.
