RU

Rutgers University

 I had an appointment, up in northern New Jersey, Monday, by Rutgers University.

My youngest son Michael graduated from Rutgers and is now a Pharmacist..

I never explored the campus the way I would have liked to, so after my appointment, 

we wondered around.

It is a really lovely campus, 

many of the buildings are very old and have some really beautiful stone work.

This stained glass was stunning.

The sky was so pretty...filled with puffy white clouds that looked like cotton candy!

The grounds were meticulously kept, everything was so colorful and the grass was so green.

I was so happy to see, explore and appreciate this beautiful campus.

Boursin Tomato Pasta

 Is there anyone here who does not love pasta?

It is, perhaps, one of my favorite foods and one of my favorite meals to prepare.

Apparently, this recipe, is a TikTok sensation.

I don't have a TikTok but I saw this on Instagram.

There are a lot of recipes on line for this dish, many start with the tomatoes and cheese in the oven.

I cooked it on the stove top and it was super simple, but filled with flavor.

I'm sure you could use any tomatoes, large or small in this dish when your garden starts producing.

So to keep you interested, let's start with a pretty picture of the end result.

Here is the ingredient line-up...

I started with this recipe, I tweaked it a little, adding a few things.

I started with a diced sweet onion, sauteed with a little olive oil, which was not in the recipe.

I only used 3 cloves of garlic and added sun dried tomatoes and a squeeze or 2 of tomato paste.

I used Angel Sweet grape tomatoes, halved...

Boursin Cheese...

makes this delicious creamy sauce.

I used small penne pasta,

Spinach...

wilted,

and fresh basil from my garden.

I made this last night for dinner and it was delicious.

Light, flavor filled, the perfect dinner for a warm summer night.
