Your typical homemade tomato-mushroom-basil-marinara sauce with meat balls. I had a bunch of those super flavorful, kinda drying out, shriveled tomatoes to use. We live in a desert so thin skinned tomatoes on the counter start to lose moisture pretty quick, but as they wrinkle they get tastier. I sliced a few marinated baby artichokes to go with, and topped the pasta with shaved pecorino-romano cheese.
