Recipe Description
Rigatoni Margherita features the classic summer flavors of a Margherita pizza. We combined the likes of fresh sweet basil and fresh tomatoes, threw in some baked mozzarella cheese and pasta and then baked it to a summer and savory perfection. This Rigatoni Margherita came about in the wake of a visit to our favorite farmer’s market. I came across a stand of tomatoes that were too beautiful to walk away from. Instead, I found myself asking for 5 lbs of these juicy reds. Not having any specific use in mind for them, I remembered that certain things in life don’t need too much thought and this was clearly one of those decisions.
