My husband and I love pasta and therefore usually have some in the fridge already made. We also love tomatoes and have had great tomato gardens. We usually start by combining the two whenever we can. The latest recipe I made starting with these two ingredients was a great success. Hope you try it and let me know what your combinations are. - Ruth
