      I'm here to corroborate this wonderful pairing: A few months ago I was gifted some homegrown campari tomatoes that were so outstanding I didn't want to ruin the perfectly balanced tomato flavor with heat (as good fresh tomatoes are next to impossible to come by in the state of Florida). Instead, I dressed them simply enough with good butter, sea salt, homemade kitchen pepper (look it up) and just a kiss of raw garlic, sopping it all up with some fat wedges of warm leftover focaccia. I ended up eating all eight tomatoes in one sitting. Wish I were joking. Every so often, you come across a sublime marrying of flavors in a meal you least expect to discover them -- tomatoes and butter are one of those matches made in heaven. Atop pasta is just going one better. Can't wait to try it this way...and to any doubters out there, you're only hurting yourself. 💜

      Try Jovial Einkorn flour for an easier-to-digest meal. Einkorn is an ancient grain that is still whole and has not been bred to make you sick! It can make ALL the difference. Many people find that it isn't gluten but the chemicals sprayed on the grains to start the dying process making the grain release easier for a quicker and larger harvest.

    Growing up my family didn't have a lot of money as my dad was a federal prison guard and my mom stayed home. We often ate fresh pasta with butter and home canned tomatoes. A big garden kept us in food. All together we would have hundreds and hundreds of jars put up.
    A big plate of fresh buttered pasta with a couple of jars of tomatoes usually with a jar of green beans on the side, fed us kids many nights.
    To this day it is the ultimate comfort food. Thank you for reminding me. ❤️

It sounds like it would be gross, but what I did was use mozzarella cheese in the middle with the noodles (which I broke up into quarters) and some alfredo sauce, then cooked the tortilla until it was crispy and seasoned it with garlic powder and dried parsley, topped with parmesan. It was a bit strange eating it in this manner at first, but it tasted just like eating alfredo with garlic bread and I liked it so much I make it by choice now.

    A little over 20 years ago I was in a relationship with an Italian from Rome. He made pasta very similar to this but used olive oil instead of butter (he was extremely health conscious). His sister would use butter. Some times they’d add fish or chicken (a dash of white wine if adding fish) and some times it’d be just the tomatoes, onion, a handful of fresh herbs and if the mood demanded it, some garlic. If in the mood for some extra pep, a few chili flakes.
    The simplicity and versatility of this dish and how fast it comes together makes its beauty. Flavourful tomatoes,butter, herbs, salt, pepper. Whatever else comes in is just the mood of the day. And it’s fabulous. Delicious does not need to be complicated or expensive. It’s filling, it’s healthy (yes, even with butter!) it’s fast and boy, is it tasty!
    Adding pasta water to emulsify and mixing your pasta through your sauce are two essential steps in most Italian pasta dishes that sadly, in Northern European countries, are left out for reasons that escape me. Yes, a dollop of sauce on a nest of virginal pasta looks pretty… but oh, the reward you get from doing it like Italian cooks have been doing it for generations!
    Thank you for tasting and rectifying the seasoning! One day the tomatoes might be a little sweeter, the other day they might be a little on the tart side. One onion might be bigger than the other, the ladle of pasta water a little less generous, there might be a little less salt in the pasta water (or none at all), the day might have baan really hot and you might have lost an excessive amount of salt through sweating but not have had the chance to replenish your electrolytes… and you might feel the need to add more. I have a friend who used to be a sous-chef in a Michelin star kitchen. His mantra is “Taste and rectify - always believe your eyes, nose, ears and tastebuds in the kitchen. Never just the recipe”. Wise words IMHO.

Every ingredient is listed in grams, even the amount of salt. If you follow it religiously and don’t like the seasoning, yes.

    This is absolutely one of my most favorite things to eat ever. I have my own version of this and the reason that I even made it was because I didn't have anything in my cabinet but rigatoni ,butter and tomatoes. The combination of the fat and the acid and the texture of the pasta is just amazing. I also add red pepper flakes to mine.

    If you're having trouble finding good basil, I recommend getting a small aerogarden unit, they don't take up much room and for whatever reason they are incredibly good at growing basil. Nothing else seems to grow quite as well and in fact I end up having too much basil. I have a couple Aerogardens that I use but the smaller one is called the AeroGarden Sprout Indoor Hydroponic Herb Garden.

      Another option for some but not all herbs is to buy large quantities when you can - mince them and mix them with olive oil. Next, I portion them out in ice cube trays, then when frozen solid pop them out into a small freezer bag. Viola, frozen portion controlled cubes. When you need the herbs for sauce drop them in and let them melt in the pan. Learned this a few years back from a cooking video.
