Instructions: Wash the tomatoes. Slice off the tops, and scoop out the pulp with a small spoon. Chop the pulp and turn the tomatoes upside down on a rack to drain. Place the pulp in a strainer, and allow the juices to drain off.

Meanwhile, boil the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water. Drain it 2 minutes before the recommended cooking time elapses. Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. Combine pasta with the remaining ingredients in a bowl. Stir in the drained tomato pulp. Season with salt and pepper.

Stuff tomatoes, and replace tops. Arrange them in one layer in a well- oiled baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Peel off skins, if desired.

Serve hot or at room temperature.
