I had a busy Saturday, so all of my plans for baking flew right out the window. I did manage to pay my first visit to my favorite place to by locally grow and fresh, organic produce-- "The Farm" (that I blogged about in March). I regretted that I didn't bring my camera, but I'll be sure to do that next week. I bought some beautiful strawberries, that were so sweet and freshly picked. While browsing around at all the beautiful produce, Sarah (who has managed the business for several years) asked if I saw the fresh garbanzo beans. I winced. Remember, I don't like garbanzo beans! However, I had never seen fresh garbanzo beans.

Time ran away, so I decided to make pasta. I had some heirloom grape tomatoes, fresh mozarella, pancetta and a LOT of sage. I decided to fry some sage in some leftover butter:




I am also thrilled to have spotted my first two tomatoes-- from our 20 container plants!


Spring has certainly blessed our home garden, with promises of so many fresh vegetables and fruits. I can hardly wait!
Hopefully, tomorrow, I can make a strawberry cream tart. I have a few more recipes to upload, if I could just slow my life down a bit. Honestly, I wish I had the time to blog every day. I will, once my summer vacation rolls around on July 1st. That's when I plan to get busy with canning tomatoes and making jams. Whoo-hoo!

Your pasts dish looks fantastic. Its wonderful when spur of the moment dishes turn out so well. Cant wait to see how you can/jar tomatoes!
I'm getting excited about your garden, can't wait to see all the goodies you get, and everything you'll be making from it! Please don't give up on garbonzo's they're sooo good!
Your pasta and your photos are lovely, as usual.
Can't wait to see pics next week of The Farm!
Strawberry tart- yum! I'm making a strawberry cake tomorrow for our neighbors. I may make one myself because it looks so good :-)
Sounds like your garden is doing really well!! This dinner sounds fabulous by the way. I love the idea of fried sage, and that melting mozzarella with the pancetta is just divine. What an inspired dinner!
That's a very nice dish for "just out of the refrigerator" ingredients! Thanks for the garbanzo photos - I've never seen them fresh, either!
The pasta looks so delicious! And fried sage is something I will have to try (everything is better fried, right?!). I can't wait till you start making jam! It's one of those things I've always wanted to do myself, but am really intimidated by the whole jar situation. Only one more month till summer - you must be so excited!
What beautiful photos and your pasta looks amazing! Your garden produce seems to be coming along great.
