I love tomatos – especially at this time of the year when they are abundant and beautifully fresh. This delicious summer spaghetti is so flavourful. Play with fresh herb combinations to personalize it to your liking and add a sprinkling of your favorite fresh cheese on the top. Yum! 4 – 5 garlic cloves, minced [...]
