Pasta with No-Cook Summer Tomato Sauce

I used Bronze Cut Trottole Pasta from Central Market/Heb but you could use penne, fusilli, or other tubular pasta. Trottole originates from the Campania region of southern Italy. It is made with organic durum wheat semolina using traditional bronze dies, this pasta has a rough textured surface which allows it to better capture and hold sauces once cooked.

You can use just parmesan cheese or do like I did use a combination of cheeses. I had a large bag of Belgioioso Shaved Blend of Asiago, Parmesan and, Romano that I used and it was perfect. https://www.belgioioso.com

My tomatoes in my garden are not ready yet, but I had some large, delicious, vine ripe tomatoes that were perfectly ripe for the recipe.

You can actually serve this pasta as a side dish or a main course. As the main course just add some garlic bread or even a salad like my Italian Salad: https://the2spoons.com/italian-salad-with-lemon-olive-oil-vinaigrette/. Allen was having a grilled ribeye and I served this as his side dish. You know you don’t always have to have potatoes with your grilled steaks!

This is a great recipe! I plan on using it all summer with tomatoes from my garden! Here you go! Enjoy!

Print Recipe
Course Main Course, Side Dish
Cuisine Italian
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs ripe tomatoes (about 4 large) chopped
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 2/3 cup lightly packed fresh basil
  • 1 lb pasta, like fusilli, penne, ziti (I used Trottole)

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor or blender, combine the tomatoes, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper and puree. Add the basil and pulse just to mix.
    In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until done. The doneness of pasta is a personal preference. I probably cook mine a little more than the package directions, because I really don't like an al dente, but a little softer. I now poured the sauce in another skillet (hyou can pour into your actual serving bowl) and scooped the pastaz out with a large slotted spoon. I did not use the entire pound of pasta and you probably want to start with leaving some behind too because it will depend on the size of your tomates and the amount of sauce they make. You can add a little pasta water if you like. Then, toss with the sauce and the Parmesan cheese. Let sit for about 1 minute to allow the pasta to absorb some of the liquid. Serve with additional Parmesan. Bon Appetiit!











    Fresh Tomatoes We use plenty of canned tomatoes with pasta, but for this raw sauce, fresh, lusciously ripe specimens are essential. Take advantage of the abundant crop in August and September. If you live in an area with a farmers' market, or have a garden of your own, experiment with different types—red, yellow, orange, heirloom. Each of these has a unique flavor.
