Roasted Tomatoes with Pine Nuts

Simple, simple, simple to make - and delicious. All you need for this one is:

• Whole tomatoes
• Olive Oil
• Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
• Parmesan Cheese
• Fresh Garlic, chopped
• Pine Nuts

Preheat the oven to 350; in a shallow baking pan, place tomatoes (however many your heart desires) with the tops cut off - and a shallow 'cup' cut into the top portion. I usually cut off the top and take a tablespoon of the meat out - it doesn't need to be deep, just enough to hold other ingredients.

Drizzle with virgin olive oil and sprinkle with Italian bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, fresh garlic and pine nuts. You can also use other cheeses depending on your preference. Note that the 'sprinkle' can range from a light coating to more - it is just a preference of taste (I tend to go a bit on the heavy side).

Bake for about 30 minutes and serve hot as a side. It is a wonderful addition to any meal.

Enjoy. . .
