OMG Tomatoes are in! The Farmers Market this morning was loaded with local tomatoes....

Here is amethod for a tomato tart - you can put pretty much anything in it and it is all good:

This is from a thread a few years ago at Gail's:

After reading all of these tart recipes, and seeing what I had in the fridge - I made one that was pretty darn good>>>
I blind-baked a pie crust in a 9-inch tart
pan with a removeable bottom. Schmeared
some boursin over the bottom, then layered:

fresh spinach,
parmesan bread crumbs,
grated fontina,
sliced tomatoes, dotted with pesto
grated mozarella,
more bread crumbs on top.

Baked at 350 for ~15 minutes. Had a slice
warm, room-temp, and cold - all yummy, and
very pretty!

Thanks to all for the inspiration.

Cheers!

This is one of my all-time favorites - REC: Linguine with Tomato and Basil

This is a recipe from Linda Stradley. It is basically an alla checca. I prefer it over angel hair or spaghetti.....I also leave out the olives, cuz DH doesn't like them.

Linguine With Tomatoes & Basil

This is the perfect recipe for those hot
summer days when you garden is plentiful
with fresh tomatoes and basil.

6 very ripe large tomatoes, peeled, seeded,
and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into strips
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed green
olives
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1 (16-ounce) package uncooked linguine
pasta
Freshly grated parmesan cheese

In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, olive
oil, basil, parmesan cheese, black olives,
green olives, garlic, salt, and pepper;
stir until blended. Cover and let stand at
room temperature 2 hours.

Cook pasta according to package directions;
drain and return to pan. Add tomato mixture
and toss to coat thouroughly. Transfer onto
