This Summer my tomatoes have been slow to grow. Neighbor is not growing any this year and freebies from friends just weren't coming in fast enough. So I picked up a package of Roma's at the store. Beautiful red tomatoes but not garden fresh. Read more Lo and behold the next day I scored a few fresh ones from a new friend. Didn't want the Roma's to go to waste or to feel unloved so I started looking around for stuffed tomato recipes. Of course the ones I was coming across were not ingredient friendly for me at the time so this is what I came up with. I have a nice collection of garlic sauce cups from local pizza joints. We always order extra and to keep the resident dude from drinking it like milk (just kidding, kinda) I will usually try to find a use for it. Drizzling it over baked dishes is usually a winner. Unless it's cake or cookies...well, you know that... See less
Ingredients
- 4 roma tomatoes shopping list
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs (best guess on amount here..) shopping list
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup shredded cheese, whatever your preference (..and here) shopping list
- parmesan cheese-grated shopping list
- garlic sauce from the pizza joint shopping list
- parsley flakes shopping list
- cracked black pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Heat oven to 350*
- Slice tomatoes in half longways.
- Scoop out pulp and seeds, but don't discard!
- Mix pulp with breadcrumbs and shredded cheese till it sticks together but is still crumbly (is that a word? It is now).
- Fill tomatoes with mixture evenly.
- Place in glass pie plate. Or whatever pan you prefer, wouldn't recommend a holey pizza pan, though...
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Drizzle garlic sauce over all.
- Put in oven for 30 to 40 minutes till tomatoes are soft and topping is browned and crunchy.
- After removing sprinkle more Parmesan, parsley flakes and cracked black pepper.
