What to do with all these tomatoes!??!
I have a TON of cherry and grape tomatoes from the garden....
any idea on what to do with them?
I usually roast them with a bunch of seasonings and then toss with other veggies.

Angel Hair Pasta with Sautéed Cherry Tomatoes, Lemon & Tuna
by Martha Holmberg
One Star Two Stars Three Stars Four Stars Five Stars read reviews (3)
This dish is built around the season's luscious offerings yet designed for speed. The sauce only looks like you slaved over it, and its strong flavors are perfectly in balance.Serves three to four.
Quick
ingredient discovery
Ingredients angel hair pasta canned tuna jarred pepperoncini more more
kosher salt olive oil cherry tomatoes grape tomatoes garlic capers lemons butter flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups cherry or grape tomatoes (about 1-1/2 lb.; a mix of colors, if possible)
1 large clove garlic, minced
One 6-oz. can light tuna in oil, drained and separated into chunks
2 Tbs. minced jarred pepperoncini (about 4 medium peppers, stemmed and seeded)
1 Tbs. lightly chopped capers
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. cold unsalted butter
1/2 tsp. packed, finely grated lemon zest
8 oz. dried angel hair pasta
3 Tbs. coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Tip: For a real treat, try making this quick summer pasta with one of the imported Spanish tunas (Ortiz brand, in particular), which are fairly expensive but very delicious.
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, in an 11- to 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the tomatoes (be careful because the oil and juice can spatter) and cook until they begin to collapse and their juices run and start to thicken, 6 to 10 min. (If you have big, stubborn tomatoes, you may need to crush them a bit with a spatula or pierce them with a knife.) Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the tuna, pepperoncini, capers, lemon juice, butter, and lemon zest. Season the sauce to taste with salt and keep it warm while you cook the pasta.
Cook the pasta in the boiling water according to package directions. Drain well, arrange in individual pasta bowls, and top with the sauce and the parsley

Re: What to do with all these tomatoes!??!
I've been making and freezing sauce for the winter with all my extra tomatoes.
Just boil a big pot of water..throw the tomatoes in for a few mins..they'll start to get soft and wrinkled. Take them out and peel , squeeze to get some of the seeds out.
Then I make my sauce and freeze in containers, so I'll have for the colder months, since DH & I don't really eat sauce in the summer.
IF you don't know how, I can tell you a few ways to make the actual sauce...

Sun dried tomatoes. I just did this last week. Slice the tomatoes in half and put on a baking sheet w/ parchment and sprinkle some salt. Cook on low 175 (200 will work if you oven doesn't go that low) and cook overnight (12 to 16 hours).
You can then freeze them for later use.

Re: What to do with all these tomatoes!??!
What I ended up doing, which was sooooooo yummy....
coated them in a lot of EVOO, sprinkled with salt and fresh chopped garlic and basil. Roasted them at 425 for 30 min (or until they popped open).
Put all that in a pot and stirred in some Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, which thickened up the sauce and added a great flavor. Poured it over some pasta. Added chicken and some shrimp.
YUM.
