That looks good! I’m making it this week.
That was yummy! Made it tonight to use my old harvest of cherry tomatoes before bringing the new ones in. Probably have 8 pints again now. I’ll have to make this again!
Thanks for letting me know that you made this and enjoyed it. I am so glad that you liked it.
Used the tomatoes with a little onion added to make quesadillas for lunch since we didn’t have any gf pasta. I just put some on a corn tortilla topped with some mozzarella cheese and another tortilla and baked them. Yum! Its good with pasta too, we are just out.
YUM!! I love that idea and will have to try it. Thanks for sharing it.
