ricotta-basil stuffed tomatoes

So here's the deal.  I can't stand food that is stuffed into vegetables.  I just don't want to eat a whole zucchini, or bell pepper, or whatever.  But in this case, the actual reason was that tomatoes are just too darn expensive, and 2/3 of the people in this house would not eat them anyway.  So I made the filling and baked it in a casserole, which ended up being super easy.  Oooooohh, and it was so delicious!  I bought fresh corn (sweetest ever) and cut it off the ears.  I didn't have any parmesan, but I didn't even miss it.  If I were making it for other people, I would definitely put parmesan or bread crumbs on top to make it a little brown.  It was warm and hearty while still being light and fresh and summery.  A perfect dish!!  From July/August 2010, recipe here.
