I Love cooking!

Cooking has always been fun for me, especially after I got married. And cooking doesn't always make us busy and messy. You still can look pretty and great whilst you are cooking ;-)

Here, I will share a simple and easy recipe for a starter from one of my favorite television host from the Asian Food Channel, Giada De Laurentiis. She is pretty and smart. Almost all her food recipes are healthy and the ingredients easy to find.

Roasted Tomatoes with Garlic, Gorgonzola and Herbs.

INGREDIENTS

6 middle size of tomatoes, slice in half lengthwise.

3-4 table spoon of olive oil.

1 clove garlic, minced.

Pinch of salt.

Pinch of black pepper.

1/3 cup plain bread crumbs.

1/3 cup Gorgonzola cheese, finely crumbled.

1 tbsp fresh parsley leaf, chopped.

DIRECTIONS

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C.

Using a teaspoon, grapefruit spoon or what ever the tools that make you convenience for it, to remove the seeds from the tomatoes. Place the tomato halves, cut side down, on a paper towel and let them drain for about 5 minutes.

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons each of olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Using clean hands, bring the tomato halves in to the oil mixture and gently toss until coated. Marinate the tomatoes for about 10 minutes.

In a small bowl mix together the bread crumbs and Gorgonzola cheese

Place the marinated tomato halves, cut side up on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Fill each tomato half with the bread crumbs until fully filled. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes until slightly softened and until the underside of the tomatoes are brown.

Arrange the cooked tomatoes on a serving platter. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Note: If you don't like Gorgonzola cheese, you can replace with grated Parmesan Cheese.

Bon appétit!
