I love homegrown, super ripe tomatoes, and look forward to them every summer. There are endless ways to prepare tomatoes, so be creative and inventive when thinking of what to do with them! I happened to have some leftover linguine and ground beef in the fridge, and wanted to use it before it spoiled. Also, my tomatoes were getting soft, so I knew cooking them would be the best option. This sauce came out pretty good, the only thing I was missing was fresh Parmesan cheese. Remember, be creative in the kitchen and make sure to have fun when cooking for yourself, your friends and your family!
