We love summer tomatoes and I came up with this recipe with ingredients on hand, I now make it all the time. Its best made with home grown tomatoes and real parmesan cheese ( not the kind in a container)

Ingredients

• 6  basil leaves, sliced
• 2  tablespoons pine nuts
•  parmesan cheese, grated
• 3  tablespoons  virgin olive oil

Directions

1. In a shallow serving dish, arrange the tomatoes and onions, alternating them in a spiral, scatter the garlic over the top, followed by the basil, pine nuts and cheese.Pour over the olive oil and season with pepper. Let stand at room temp for an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Accompany with Italian bread to mop up the juices.
