Tomato Provencale    
Prep. Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes

4 large tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp Cento Imported Olive Oil, plus extra for drizzling
½ cup Cento Plain Bread Crumbs
½ cup Cento Grated Parmesan Cheese, plus extra for topping
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
½ cup fresh chopped parsley
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp Cento Ground Black Pepper
8 tsp Bellino Pesto Sauce, optional

Preheat oven to 450°. With a tablespoon, hollow out tomatoes, discarding the seeds but reserving the flesh. If desired, dab the inside of each halved tomato with 1 tsp pesto sauce. In a small bowl, mix oil, breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Evenly fill tomatoes with bread mixture; drizzle tops with oil. Bake 10-15 minutes, or until filling is lightly browned. Sprinkle a pinch of cheese over each halved tomato if desired; serve hot or at room temperature. Serves 6.
