This eye-popping bowl of fettuccine with roasted tomato sauce is a tantalizing reminder that tomato season is nearly upon us. Brought into glorious (and most likely brief) existence by Gwendolyn at Patent and the Pantry, it's a vibrant ode to the complicated chemistry that takes place between simple ingredients, rendering them extraordinary. It's also a succinct explanation of why carbophobia tends to end in bankruptcy, both moral and financial. Above all, it's a comforting reminder that sometimes, happiness really can be found at the business end of a pasta machine.
