Some of the best tomatoes around are the MightyVine tomatoes based out of Rochelle, Illinois. In addition to no-waste eating, I do my best to eat local, and it’s unbelievably easy when the produce from my home state is delicious. I decided to whip up a quick caprese-style pasta with roasted tomato, burrata, and basil. Believe it or not, creating your own roasted tomato sauce is one of the easiest (and healthiest) things you can make! I took these gorgeous MightyVine tomatoes and threw them in the oven with some garlic and seasoning, and whipped it all up in a blender. I can’t wait to make the a regular summer dish I can share with friends and family, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
