A lot of the year I use tinned tomatoes, but this dish relies on the freshness of summer’s fully ripened tomatoes.

Ingredients

4 red, ripe roma tomatoes, diced
Salt and freshly milled black pepper
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
8 fresh basil leaves, torn
500g penne or similar
150g goat’s curd or similar

Preparation

Mix the tomatoes, some salt and pepper, the olive oil and the basil leaves and leave to stand for half an hour to draw out the juice of the tomatoes.

In the meantime, cook the pasta in plenty of well salted boiling water until al dente. When it’s cooked, toss the cheese into the tomato, then toss the tomato into the hot pasta (oil and juice and all) and serve straight away.

What a fantastic and simple dish, it was great and had it again the next day for left overs. I added a couple of slices of thin spicy salami and it was great, thanks for another excellent recipe.

Delish-especially so because we used our own tomatoes and basil grown by our 12 year old daughter.

Festive occasions

Many of Poland’s religious holidays involve long observed fasts, including Easter and Christmas. Christmas Eve is a day of fasting, which is broken by a dinner called the Wigilia. Traditionally, this special meal is not eaten until a member of the family, usually a child, spots the first evening star in the winter sky.
