A table filled with fresh summer tomatoes of all colors.

Summer Linguini with Tomatoes and Basil


Submitted by: Peggy
Recipe origin: USA

This recipe comes from the “Peggy’s Table” cookbook by Heritage Cookbook creator Peggy, who says this is “the BEST summer pasta recipe ever! I grow my own tomatoes and basil and my reward is this summer ritual every August!”

4 (or more) ripe large tomatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
16 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed, torn into irregular pieces
1 cup fresh basil, in chiffonade
3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely minced
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1½ pounds linguini
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Combine tomatoes, Brie, basil, garlic, 1 cup olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt and the pepper in a large serving bowl. Prepare at least 2 hours before serving and set aside, covered, at room temperature.

Bring 6 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and remaining salt. Add the linguini and boil under tender, but still firm, 8 to 10 minutes.

Drain pasta and immediately toss with the tomato sauce. Serve at once, passing the peppermill and grated Parmesan cheese. Serves 4 to 6.

Slow cooker beef shank pasta sauce

I added red wine and black olives to this stew-like pasta sauce to crank up the fullness of the flavor, but my kids loved it too!
Slow cooker tomato sauce

Ingredients

2 large beef or veal shanks
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup red wine
2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves, or 1/2 tsp dried
32 oz or 1 quart of canned crushed tomates (I used the home-made sauce I made this summer in this video!)
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation Instructions

Roughly chop the onion and garlic. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet. Brown the onion and garlic, about 3-5 minutes, until translucent. Add the shanks and brown on both sides (about 3 minutes a side). Add red wine and cook 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and seasoning. Transfer to slow cooker. Cook on high heat for 6 hours. Remove the shanks and shred the meat. Return to sauce.
(I ended up refrigerating the sauce for a couple of days, and it only got more delicious!).
