I got to cook tonight! That almost never happens.

Tonight was garden pasta - roma and yellow tomatoes, zucchini, beans, oregano, rosemary, and basil from the garden, sauteed with olive oil and purchased onions, then tossed over angel hair pasta with parmesan. Good stuff.  I added the beans last and their barely-cooked flavor made the dish zing for me.

I also took the other ~50 romas (we only have one bush, yo!) and made them into a sauce for tomorrow. I've never made spaghetti sauce from scratch. It wasn't as much work as I was led to believe, but enough work that I wouldn't want to do it all the time. There's another big crop of tomatoes coming, so I'll get to do it again soon. :)

On a related note, I want antifatigue mats in the kitchen. These are the prettiest I've found so far.
