    The word "pomodoro" means "tomato" in Italian, which makes perfect sense since this easy dish is a bowl of tomato love! This is also a very common dish during the summer time because it's so light and quick to make.

      I buy whatever pasta is on offer but there's always some in as it's a great staple. A lot of times it's very simply pasta with tomato sauce and cheese but my all time favourite, made only for very special occasions as it takes 2 days and is fairly expensive, is the sauce that Quentin Tarantinos mom makes. Incredible.

      Ok I have no idea what it is, but this week I have wanted pasta in a MAJOR way. I rarely ever buy pasta but I seriously want some.

      Also, this looks absolutely fresh and beautiful! Glad to see you back on the blogging train 😀
