Neapolitan Baked Tomatoes With Basil & Parmesan

"From A Taste of Italy (1996) by The American Cooking Guild: "Late-summer tomatoes are intensely sweet and taste great. Serve the baked tomatoes as a side dish or chop into coarse pieces and toss with 1/2 pound of cooked thin spaghetti. Season with salt, pepper, and extra grated cheese.""

  1. Yum! Great simple recipe for this cooking novice! Made two baked tomatoes with intention on eating half of one, and using the other 1 and a half with pasta - gobbled them all up as a nice summer meal! Thank you!
     
  2. Loved it, loved it. Made it with some perfect mid-September tomatoes, raw sheep's milk Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, vinegar-marinated white anchoves, and the thin spaghetti, plus a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil so the pasta wouldn't stick. The fresh herbs are a must (I did 2 parts basil and 1 part each parsley and marjoram). DH rated it "excellent" and had thirds. The breadcrumb mixture that falls off the tomatoes while baking should be scattered over the pasta for a nice crunch.

Hi! I'm very blessed with a daughter and 3 sons, all teens who don't hate me lol. I am passionate about my family, and being an Italian family makes us all foodies by nature! I love to cook just about anything that's rustic style, and I eat fairly naturally and vegetarian.
