Garden Tomato Pasta

I know, I know ANOTHER Summer Pasta dish?!? I swear I don’t eat pasta all day long guys. I really don’t. But I have been SO incredibly inspired since our trip to Tuscany that all I can dream about in the kitchen is delicious, simple Italian food using the freshest vegetables I can get my hands on…. plus lots of pasta, ha!

And the fact that I’m sharing another dish containing tomatoes I really have no apologies. You guys know how I feel about fresh tomatoes this time of year. #GimmeMeALLtheFreshTomatoesPLEASE

I can’t take full credit for this delicious, bright and flavorful Vegan Tomato Garden Pasta either, y’all. It is one of my Mother in Law’s signature dishes using ALLLL the fresh tomatoes you can find! Whenever she makes it for us, I ogle over the simplicity of the tomato sauce and am reminded of how much I looove angel hair pasta. Yum.

This Healthy Tomato Garden Pasta is a great way to use up those ripe, juicy an’ plump Summer tomatoes and fresh herbs in your garden. This Tomato Garden Pasta is simple – tomatoes, herbs, garlic and onion. The way it’s prepared makes it one of my favorite pasta dishes to whip up in the Summer. Can we all agree, simple recipes are the best?! 🙂
