Best Tomatoes With Basil And Creme Fraiche Recipes
CREAMY PASTA BAKE WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND BASIL
One of my favorite midweek pasta bakes - my whole family loves it and there is not much prep. Once the pasta bake is in the oven, you can make a salad or set the table and then it's time to eat.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking water.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent while penne is cooking, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds. Stir in tomato sauce and tomato paste and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Add cream and Parmesan cheese and season with salt, pepper, and sugar.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
- Stir some pasta cooking water into the sauce and add cooked penne. Remove from heat and stir in cherry tomatoes, 1/2 the mozzarella cheese, and basil. Pour penne mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover with remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.

TOMATOES WITH BASIL AND CREME FRAICHE
If you can't find creme fraiche (I find it in the deli section of the super market, near the specialty cheeses), you can use sour cream. Serve as a side dish or on top of grilled meat. Also good on crusty bread as an appetizer. When you have some cold and left over, put them on top of a salad.

Steps:
- In a cast iron frying pan, or at least a heavy one, melt the butter. Cut the tomatoes in half and season them with salt and pepper.
- Over a low heat, cook the tomatoes, cut side down, for about 10 minutes. (The butter should foam and turn light brown, if it starts getting too dark, your heat is up too high).
- Turn the tomatoes over and add the creme fraiche.
- Leave to heat for 2 more minutes. Stir in the basil. Adjust the salt and pep, and serve.

CHERRY TOMATO SALAD
Recipe video above. This fresh, juicy tomato salad brings together two of the greatest flavour combinations known to mankind - tomato and basil! Make this with cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, or even normal tomatoes cut into chunks.The vinaigrette is slightly thickened with mustard so it clings to the tomato better, and a touch of red onion provides some much needed freshness.
