Oh, this was so good. I made a raw tomato sauce out of:
- 10 medium and small ripe garden tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup of fresh basil, chopped
- a few tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
I combined all that and let it blend for about an hour on the counter. Meanwhile, I tossed together:
- 1 zucchini, cubed
- 2 small Japanese eggplant, cubed
- olive oil
- salt
I put all that on a baking sheet and roasted it at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes.
Then I boiled some gemelli and tossed everything together with:
- 1 ball fresh mozzarella, cubed
- grated Parmesan
It tasted like summer. We ate a lot of it with some really cheap and fairly crummy Merlot. It even made the wine taste good.

We have felt such terrible tomato jealousy since we left your place--and now you're rubbing it in.
Dad is planting six cherry tomato plants and six jalapeno plants today.
