Dishes that are inspired by what is vibrant in my garden! With the heat, less time is spent fussing in the kitchen &amp; more time is spent enjoying the sunshine outdoors. While I love making a large batch of tomato sauce in the colder months, using a fresh cherry tomatoes based sauce is one of my favourite pasta-based dishes throughout the season.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2589\" src=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-iv-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-iv-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-iv-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-iv-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-iv-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-iv-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-iv-330x495.jpg 330w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-iv-690x1035.jpg 690w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-iv-1050x1575.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-iv-387x580.jpg 387w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-iv-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There is something about a sun-ripened tomato. So naturally juicy &amp; sweet, they are just perfect enjoyed on their own. This recipe will take you from a weeknight meal to a weekend of entertaining. It is fresh, colourful &amp; uses only a handful of ingredients. Simple enough to make throughout the week, but elegant enough to prepare for guests.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2590\" src=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-v-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-v-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-v-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-v-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-v-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-v-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-v-330x495.jpg 330w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-v-690x1035.jpg 690w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-v-1050x1575.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-v-387x580.jpg 387w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-v-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For the sauce I use a homemade pistou, which is very similar to pesto. A mix of fresh herbs, garlic &amp; olive oil, the main difference is that a pistou does not contain pine nuts. A fresh herb-based sauce that can be enjoyed mixed with pasta or spread over bread. While some traditional pistous do not include parmesan either, I think a little bit of parmesan adds the perfect hint of nuttiness. I recommend using a quality extra virgin olive oil (not regular olive oil), as it is the ingredient that binds the pistou sauce together. Regular olive oil does not offer the flavour that extra virgin olive oil offers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2586\" src=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-i-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-i-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-i-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-i-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-i-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-i-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-i-330x495.jpg 330w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-i-690x1035.jpg 690w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-i-1050x1575.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-i-387x580.jpg 387w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-i-scaled.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(Above: Lacanche Cormatin Range in Delft Blue)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2595\" src=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-x-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-x-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-x-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-x-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-x-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-x-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-x-330x495.jpg 330w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-x-690x1035.jpg 690w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-x-1050x1575.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-x-387x580.jpg 387w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/heirloom-tomato-pisout-x-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can prepare the pistou in advance &amp; enjoy it throughout the week.
