Tomato Basil Stuffing Side Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut the tops off of the tomatoes and use a knife to cut around the inside, separating the flesh from the skin. Scoop out the flesh. Place the tomatoes in a small baking dish. In a small bowl combine the canned tomatoes with the bread crumbs, 1/3 cup of cheese and the sausage; mix well. Spoon the mixture into the tomato skins and top with the remaining 1/3 cup of cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saute pan over medium heat.
• Add garlic and stir for around 5 minutes until golden, but not burned or bitter.
• Remove pan from heat, let cool.
• Place tomatoes and basil in serving bowl, pour cooled oil and garlic over.
• Toss well.

Steps:

Stuff tomatoes with the filling, sprinkle with remaining Parmesan, and bake until tomatoes are cooked through and tops are golden brown, about 30 minutes.
