My mom’s veggie pasta:

Fill a baking dish or oven-safe frying pan with 2 packages of cherry tomatoes and 8 to 10 garlic cloves. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Put this food in the oven for about 20 minutes (until the tomatoes start to peel and ooze) at 400 degrees F. Meanwhile, boil the pasta of your choice (I prefer penne for this recipe) on the stove while the tomatoes cook. Save a 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Also, finely chop some fresh basil leaves. When the tomatoes are done, take them out of the oven, and mash them and the garlic until it has the consistency of a tomato sauce. Add a small package of tiny mozzarella balls, the chopped fresh basil, and the pasta to the pan/baking dish. Add as much pasta water as needed to get your desired consistency, as you stir and mix in the pasta. (This also helps to deglaze the pan, if anything is stuck to it). Put on a dinner plate or bowl, and top with parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Also goes really well with garlic bread, salad, and red wine of course. Enjoy!

Planned for dinner, although it will feel like 3:30 in the afternoon:

Sweet Italian sausage tortellini with sautéed mushrooms, basil pesto (Costco’s finest!), and additional Parmesan, as there probably isn’t enough already in the tortellini and pesto 🤪

Sugar snap peas on the side

Roasted glazed pork loin to be served with skillet taters and green beans

Having eaten this, I must say the chunk of pork loin was seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme, seared in the pan, glazed with a mixture of tamari sauce, toasted sesame oil, agave nectar, dijon mustard, and harissa, then roasted in the oven at 375 for 20 minutes/lb and allowed to rest for 10 minutes. It was moist and flavorful, better than I imagined when I threw it together.
