Cappellini pasta pairs perfectly with summer veggies. Mostly CSA haul: Japanese eggplant, yellow and green pattypan squash, onions, garlic, heirloom tomatoes, basil, olive oil, vegetable paste, and lots of oregano!
Here's my latest secret ingredient. Vegetable paste. It's mostly like tomato paste, but also includes assorted vegetables such as celery, carrots, onions, and parsley with a little olive oil, sugar, and salt. I found it at Chef Central in the gourmet foods section, but you may be able to find it in the normal grocery store with the Italian stuff.
More umami than regular old tomato paste, this amped up paste is really tasty added to vinaigrette and soups.
