Spaghetti with Tomato and Basil




We decided to make Scarpetta's Pasta again. This is a marvelous recipe. The pasta is only partially cooked and then added to the sauce. The sauce gets absorbed into the pasta to complete its cooking. The taste of the pasta is very intense. You can get the recipe from our blog of: August 6, 2015. Click the date to get the recipe. This is a pasta you should make.

We started with a Melon and Spec. It is very refreshing on a summer night. For dessert we had Cherries that are at their early summer peak.  I pored some Portuguese Cherry Liquor (Espinheira Jinja) on top of the Cherries to enhance the flavor.
I don't know if it is because of the excessive summer heat, but it seems to me we had a very short cherry season this year.
