Spaghetti Squash with Tomatoes, Basil and Parmesan
Spaghetti Squash with Tomatoes, Basil and Parmesan
In a glass baking dish arrange the squash half, cut side down, pour 1/4 cup water around it, and cover the dish tightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap. Microwave the squash at high power (100%) for 12 minutes, or until it is soft when pressed, and let it stand, covered, for 3 minutes. In a large bowl whisk together the oil, 1/4 cup of the basil, the oregano, and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan, stir in the tomatoes, and season the mixture with salt and pepper. While the squash is still warm scrape it with a fork to form strands, add the strands to the tomato mixture, and toss the mixture until it is combined. Divide the mixture between 2 bowls, sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan over it, and garnish it with the additional basil.

Fresh Garden Pasta Sauce
Fresh Garden Pasta Sauce
Bring a pot of water to a boil. To prepare the tomatoes, cut an X into the stem end and drop them into the boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes or until you see the skins begin to slip off. Transfer the tomatoes to a colander in the sink and run cold water over them until they are cool enough to handle.
Use a small, sharp knife, and peel off the skins and cut in half. Cut out the small core and then use your finger tips to scoop out most of the seeds. Cut the tomatoes into thin strips or coarse dice. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until sizzling, then cook the onion, stirring often, until it is soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook a minute or two just until fragrant. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper, and half the basil, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Stir in the remaining basil, and use to top your favorite cooked pasta.

Place marinated tomatoes on 2 slices and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Place on a baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes, or until cheese turns golden brown. Serve immediately, open faced or closed.
