Stuffed Heirloom Tomatoes

Whole heirloom tomatoes turned into rich vessels for a herbed pasta filling. Onions slowly sweetened in oil, garlic soft but not burnt. Sauce infused with fresh herbs, chunked tomato flesh folded in for extra texture and tang. Pasta cooked al dente, tossed lightly with robust sauce melded inside ripe tomato shells. Oven warming tomatoes through just enough to marry flavors, melt cheese topping gently to finish. Serving with reserved tomato caps adds rustic charm. Variations on herbs and cheeses keep this versatile. Watch for watery tomatoes or mushy shells; firmness imperative. Simple, layered, mindful technique for satisfying from start to finish.
