I love pasta and all sorts of sauces. Sometimes, however, I really just crave raw, fresh tomatoes. These recipes are great for those moods!
Tomato Mozzarella Dip
In a food processor - add one tomato, about half an 8 oz ball of mozzarella, fresh basil (or lime-basil if you want to be really exotic), eyeball in some EVOO, salt, and garlic powder - blend or chop until semi-smooth. Serve immediately or chilled with fresh bread!
Sugo di pomodori freschi - Raw, Fresh Tomato Sauce
Boil pasta - for this recipe I like to use pasta rigati because the little ridges hold this sauce really well. As always, al dente per favore!
In a food processor - add two tomatoes, a handful of fresh basil, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1/4 cup EVOO, dash of salt, red pepper, and parmesan cheese.
Blend until there are no big chunks (little ones are okay though!). Then mix with pasta and serve immediately (or chilled) topped with fresh asiago cheese.
Delizioso! Delicious!
