If you’ve never made incredibly sweet and intensely flavorful semi dried tomatoes, you really have to try them! They couldn’t be easier to make–they just require a little bit of time to roast slowly at a low temperature.

I learned this technique back in my early cooking school days, when I was a lowly prep cook working in the basement at a fancy seafood restaurant in Philadelphia called Striped Bass. We used to make these roasted tomatoes by the bucketful, and it was a huge part of my tasks in the prep kitchen. Needless to say I became an expert at making them!

August may just be the best month for fresh, seasonal veggies, IMHO.ā˜€ļø

If it’s not the tomatoes and peppers that draws me in, then it’s all the different varieties of eggplant that I find at farmstands and farmers markets.šŸ†šŸ’ššŸ†šŸ¤šŸ†ā¤ļø

These Roasted Baby Eggplants with Crispy Garlic and Herbs can actually be made with ANY type of eggplant.

They’re so easy to prepare and delicious to eat–you’ll likely not be able to stop at just one!

If the lemon-accented marinade does not seduce you, then I promise that the crispy garlic will!šŸ‹šŸ§„

If you’re growing sweet sun gold tomatoes in your garden this year, then you just have to make this delicious and beautiful pasta recipe!

It couldn’t be easier! And it’s a great way to use up a bumper harvest if you have one, like I do. Because let’s face it, tomato salads only use up so many lol!

But no worries, even if you don’t have these golden tomatoes, this super-easy recipe can definitely be made with red cherry, grape or pear, tomatoes.

It just screams summer and takes only about 30 minutes to make. Mangia Bene!

I made this super-easy pasta salad recipe on a whim recently when I had a group of friends over for BLTs.

It’s a lighter riff on my pasta alla ch**ca recipe that is heartier with ricotta and pecorino cheese.

I hadn’t documented this version of the recipe yet but realized that I needed to do so asap as EVERYONE AROUND THE TABLE ASKED FOR IT.
