My parents are still getting a lot of tomatoes out of their garden and recently they went out of town and gifted me with a lot of tomatoes that they were not going to use because they were going to be out of town. One of the dishes I made with them was this creamy tomato shrimp with bow tie pasta. It was absolutely delicious and pretty quick and very easy. So, if you are still getting tomatoes this is a must try, and if not it is definitely tasty enough to use some of your canned or frozen tomatoes. Since it is cooked, even grocery store tomatoes would do quite well. It also used some of my basil that I want to get the most out of before the first frost.
