Pasta with summer sauce

Pasta and macaroni Italian cuisine

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Sweet local tomatoes and fields and fields of basil, just waiting for us to toss them into every summer supper we can think of, and I am doing just that. From caprese pastry to tomato basil hummus, I am Doing My Part. But out of all the many recipes I have for tomatoes and basil, my favorite one is that I just think of as summer sauce. Tomatoes, basil, garlic, butter, a teeny bit of cream and a little salt and pepper. Toss it with some pasta and it doesn't get any more summertime delicious.
