Quick & Easy Cherry Tomato Pasta

Happy Wednesday, friends!

You guys…

…my cherry tomato plants are doing SO FANTASTIC this year!

Last year, they did terrible, so I have been over the moon that this year, they’re producing so many tomatoes that we’re enjoying them nightly as a part of our dinner!  Most nights, we have them in our salad, but sometimes, we incorporate them into our entrees too. For instance, on Friday night, I made a lasagna for my parents that included my roasted cherry tomatoes.  It was delish!

Tonight though, I’m sharing a super simple supper!  Whether you enjoy this as a vegetarian meal, a side dish or add grilled chicken or fish on top, my Cherry Tomato Pasta here is on the table in no time!  Use g-free noodles and it’s Celiac friendly too!  #winning  My basil is also doing extremely well, so I was able to use that from my garden as well.  It’s so fun to use fresh veggies and herbs this time of year!

From my garden to yours, happy tomato season!
