This fresh & bright Summer Tomato Pasta with Greens is the perfect way to use up those summer tomatoes...
One of my favorite flavors of summer has to be juicy, straight from the vine tomatoes. Tomatoes just never taste as good as they do right now. They are in season and the varieties are plentiful.
And though I love a good homegrown tomato, I seem to have very little luck myself growing them. But fortunately for me, my local farmers market was just teeming with freshly picked tomatoes in vibrant reds and oranges this past weekend. I snatched some up for a recipe that caught my eye on the Yahoo! Food site a few days earlier.
