Garden Tomato Sauce over Pasta

Ready in 15 Minutes
We love this sauce as a meatless meal over hearty pasta. Or try it in lasagna or a meatball sub.

Make an even faster meal by freezing the sauce in batches so that all you have to do is reheat.

Chicken with Ratatouille

Ready in 30 Minutes
This is the perfect one-dish dinner when the garden is in full swing. Feel free to substitute whatever is overflowing in your garden or at the market for the vegetables in the ratatouille.

Thin cutlets cook fast. Make your own cutlets by slicing chicken breasts in half lengthwise.

Shrimp Succotash

Ready in 45 Minutes

This is a fantastic light summer meal. It's especially delicious with 'Silver Queen' corn and heirloom tomatoes, but you can use any of your favorite varieties.

While the butter beans simmer, prep the other ingredients. Save more time by asking for peeled and deveined shrimp at the seafood counter.
