Farmer’s Market Spaghetti By Kelly Miller • June7,2013 • Updated January 25, 2022 • 9 Comments 14.3K 60 Jump to Recipe Farmer’s Market Spaghetti is a simple, vegetarian weeknight dinner packed with garden fresh tomatoes, sprigs of thyme, garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinaigrette tossed with spaghetti. Perfect for a summer party or BBQ, too! Every year I have these grand plans of getting some good vegetable pots together on our back deck. Tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and fresh herbs are what I would love to have growing out there. I just don’t have a love for gardening, oh how I wish I did! I sure have a love for food and I know one of these years it will entice me enough to schlep the kids to the Walmart garden center and actually get all the stuff that I need. Ugh. It’s just exhausting thinking about it. I’m so thankful though to live in the middle of Amish Country here in Central PA. We are literally surrounded by farms and farmer’s markets, so even though I’m a bit lazy I can still enjoy the fresh delicious vegetables from the gardens in our area! Our local grocery outlet has some amazing deals on produce, for the past few weeks pints of cherry tomatoes have been priced at $.99 to $1.49 at the highest! If you score a great deal on cherry/grape tomatoes, or you have some growing in your own garden (you overachiever, you!) MAKE this. Use your favorite brand of balsamic vinaigrette or make your own – it’s really easy. YUM! If you liked this Farmer’s Market Spaghetti recipe, leave a rating and a comment below this post!

LibrarianLizy says June 11, 2013 at 1:47 pm Yum, yum, yum. I do have a garden, but there's no way I'll ever get 4 cups of cherry tomatoes at a time, so I'll have to hit up the farmers' market. ~Visiting from Tasty Tuesday at Anyonita Nibbles~ Reply
