Not Your Usual Tomato and Mozzarella Sauce with Pasta

on Friday, September 9, 2011







Do you want adifferent side dish or even a main dish? This is definitely not your mama’s pasta with tomato sauce!

This recipe camefrom a 1990 Hometown Collection of America’s Best Recipes Cookbook and wassubmitted by The Women’s Art Guild, Laguna Gloria Art Museum in Austin,Texas.  I have no recollection of where Ipicked up this cookbook but it is filled with some tasty recipes. 

If you adore ripetomatoes and pasta, you will enjoy this for a meal.  It is a simple recipe that is easy to tosstogether.  The finished dish has a strongtomato taste and the texture of the cheese becomes softer.  I like it warm so I serve itimmediately.  I’m guessing it would befine if it were served with the pasta at room temperature.  It is definitely different!



Ready to rest for an hour
