PASTA WITH MARINATED TOMATOES AND SUMMER HERBS
The easiest summer dinner known to man, pasta con salsa crudo, is a one-bowl, infinitely variable riot of seasonal flavors. It can be made with fancy Italian tuna and local heirloom tomatoes for foodies, or with supermarket mozzarella and tomatoes for children, or with excellent olives and extra pine nuts for vegetarians. It puts you in the kitchen for about a half-hour at the tail end of lunchtime. After that, all there is to do is cook the pasta, and serve with or without crusty bread, boiled corn, sliced tomatoes, or a nice, simple green salad.

PASTA WITH MARINATED TOMATOES
If there's one thing we're happy to be drowning in come summertime, it's tomatoes. Fresh from the farmers' market or juicy and on sale from our local supermarket, we don't discriminate-and our summer dishes are all the better for it. A marinade is one of the easiest ways to infuse your seasonal bounty with even more flavor. Bathing your tomatoes in a vinaigrette at room temperature for even just 20 minutes lets them release their juices, absorb an assortment of marinade flavors, and break down a bit to become more tender. Then the creativity kicks in. Once marinated, tomatoes are an instant upgrade to any recipe you please, and they make an especially nice swap for a jarred sauce in summertime pasta. Tangy tomatoes play nicely with penne in this seasonal pasta that's quick enough for any busy cook. Our Pasta with Marinated Tomatoes will fill your table with a colorful bowl of pasta in under 30 minutes. Pulse one-fourth of your produce into a soft base to allow the marinated tomato flavor to nestle inside the nooks and carnies of your penne. It'll help make sure your pasta is coated and the marinated zest makes it into each bite. From there, all you need is fresh basil, mozzarella cheese, and your remaining, in-tact tomatoes to toss together an eye-catching, seasonal supper. Serve alongside a simple salad and some homemade garlic bread, and you can be sure the whole family will be happy (and asking for seconds).

PASTA WITH MARINATED TOMATOES AND SUMMER HERBS
From the August 2009 New York Times, courtesy of Julia Moskin. This one dish meal is designed to be quick and satisfying to a wide range of tastes (note several options). It's also very easy to make, but needs time to marinate. Spend a few minutes in the kitchen after lunch and all you need to do for dinner is cook the pasta. This recipe can be easily halved for fewer diners. I picked the vegetarian option, but you could substitute tuna for the cheese if you'd prefer. My preference might be to add more tomatoes and/or reduce the pasta to sauce ratio.
