Tomato is the vegetable symbol of summer, source of precious nutrients such as phosphorus, potassium and vitamin C. Its red color is due to lycopene, a carotenoid with antioxidant properties. Raw or cooked it is the protagonist of countless recipes, from the simplest and most traditional like Panzanella to the most original like Tomato and Peach Salad: here is our selection of the 50 best recipes with tomato. 

To make the tasty tomatoes in the pan, devote yourself first to the chopped herbs: on a cutting board finely chop the rosemary needles with peeled garlic and salt flakes. Set aside.

Wash the cherry tomatoes, dry them with a kitchen towel and cut them in half. Heat a large non-stick frying pan greased with a drizzle of oil and place the cherry tomato halves in it with the cut side down. Leave them in this position over very high heat until they are just "caramelized". At this point, turn them over with the aid of a fork, dress them with more oil and the aromatic mixture prepared.

Continue cooking for a few minutes, until they are completely softened, then serve the tomatoes in a pan hot or cold.
