Pasta with Tomatoes, Summer & Winter

1. 1

   Bring a large covered pot of salted water to a boil.

2. 2

   Add the pasta and cook until al dente.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, prepare Simple Tomato Sauce or Fresh Tomato & Mozzarella Salad.

4. 4

   When the pasta is done, drain it and top with sauce and grated cheese, or toss with the tomatoes and mozzarella.

5. 5

   Any shape of pasta is fine, but a short, chunky pasta (see page 291) goes best with Fresh Tomato & Mozzarella Salad, and tomato sauce is traditionally paired with long strands.

6. 6

   A green salad is a tried-and-true accompaniment.

7. 7

   Another tasty side dish is Lemony Green Beans (page 192).

8. 8

   Have Sweet Spiced Nuts (page 261) and a glass of port for dessert.
