Please share fresh tomato recipes/ideas? [View all]

In CT, peak tomato season .

Gonna just top these with olive oil, basil, S&P, and Parm and broil til cheese melted. Great easy side.

My sister read for a GREAT fresh pasta sauce, core ripe tomatoes and grated them into olive oil garlic and basil.

Please share ideas. Oh and sweet corn and yellow squash GREAT here. Green beans not so much... Bad year?
