Central Iowa has been a stormy, wet mess this summer, and it seems all my tomatoes have come down with black speck. 😦 😦 😦 It’s tragically sad! Blessedly, I could salvage a few bites here and there and, combined with a few other summer produce items, dinner was fresh and tasty tonight!

• Prepare 20 ounces of frozen cheese tortellini according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, whisk…
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire
  • 2 T. crushed garlic
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
• Combine cooked pasta and dressing with…
  • 2 cups of tomatoes, chopped
  • Kernels from 2 ears of corn
  • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
• Serve with Parmesan cheese.

This dish was an excellent summer meal! I would absolutely consider taking this to a potluck; it was THAT good! I didn’t plant sweet corn, but I was excited to use my other garden items! It was delish at room temperature, but I think you could reheat in the microwave or serve cold.
