Tomato and Zucchini Pasta Did someone say, "This summer I’m interested in expanding my repertoire of Italian dishes?" Do you remember reading something like that? Oh well, that person must have thought that she had to keep her word and make another Italian dish before the end of summer. Hahaha... Honestly, it's getting cooler here -- FINALLY! I don't need to have the air conditioner on at night any more. And a couple of red dragonflies I saw today told me that the summer is almost gone, which pressured me to cook (and post) at least one more Italian dish before it is officially autumn. So, this was a quick, easy and tasty lunch I whipped up today. I got this idea from someone's blog (Japanese) several days ago. Actually she added things like balsamic vinegar and anchovy, but what I made today was much closer to this English recipe, if you're interested. It was still very good without those fancy stuff, I would say. BTW, I had good luck with my basil this year. The leaves did not grow big like previous years, but the plants were healthier and absolutely no insect problem! :D Categories: Western-inspired |

Obachan,
Great idea! our zucchinis just keeps growing in our garden. So far, I made zucchini loaf, fried zucchini, zucchini tempura etc... next we have our squash growing so maybe for our autmn soup?

Yeah, I've been to Minoo in autumn once. It was so nice and beautiful.(Are those wild monkeys behaving these days??)

Oh, zucchini tempura! You know what? Even the kaiseki place I used to work at served zucchini tempura. It's my favorite.
That's one very beautiful pasta!
Thank you, Hungry hamster! :D
