Trombette with Fresh Tomato Sauce


Wednesday 18 September
Barbara had set aside two damaged tomatoes to make her green beans on Saturday, and then forgot them completely.  So (horrible fate) she had to make a fresh tomato sauce out of them today. 

She started a little garlic frying in olive oil, and added a squeeze of tomato paste to sweeten a bit.  Then the chopped tomatoes went in to simmer while she picked a handful of basil leaves in the garden. 
When the pasta (trombette) was done, it was poured into the pan, tossed, and showered with chopped basil leaves and ricotta salata.  It didn't take more than that to make a late summer dinner.
