Use What You Have: Basil Spaghetti With Cheesy Broiled Tomatoes

It was Meatless Monday yesterday and the grocery store just wasn't happening.  Luckily, I didn't even need to go! I went to my pinterest boards and found the perfect recipe for the all of the tomatoes in my refrigerator: Basil Spaghetti with Cheesy Broiled Tomatoes from Real Simple. The most time consuming part of preparation was boiling the pasta! Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of this dish before I devoured it, but this is from the original website:

Delicious!

I also want to point out that October is National Vegetarian Awareness Month.   I love eating vegetarian options not because I am against eating meat, but because I like to get as many vegetables into my meals as possible. And I am not suggesting that everyone give up meat, but I think it is a great idea to try to eat more vegetable-based dishes and skip the meat for a few nights this month.  Let me know how it goes!

Happy October!
