    A large pan of cherry tomato spaghetti with garlic toast outside on a grill.

    Few things have my taste buds screaming SUMMER, more than garden fresh tomatoes pulled straight from the vine at the peak ripeness! This Cherry Tomato-Lemon Spaghetti dish takes the bounty of cherry tomatoes and puts them to good use in an extremely fresh, easy and flavourful spaghetti dish. It’s even better if you have garden fresh basil too!

    Also, if it’s too hot to cook in the kitchen, I made this whole dish on the grill and toasted some bread while the grill was on. An easy and delicious pasta dinner in 30 minutes!

    Two pots on the grill, one is boiling pasta the other is cooking the cherry tomato sauce.
