Ingredients:

Serving

4 1/2 lb tomatoes (4 lb quartered, 1/2 lb chopped )
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
4 scallions, chopped
1 1/2 tbsp heavy cream
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup mini bow ties or other mini pasta
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 slices multigrain bread
2 thin slices low-sodium ham
chopped fresh basil, for topping

Directions:

Puree the quartered tomatoes in a blender. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and half of the scallions and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high; strain the pureed tomatoes through a mesh sieve into the pot. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, 1 cup water, the cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the pasta and cook until tender, about 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
Toss the remaining scallions with the cheeses; divide half the mixture between 2 bread slices. Top each with a slice of ham, the remaining cheese mixture and the other 2 bread slices. Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the sandwiches until the cheese melts, 3 minutes per side; cut in half. Ladle the soup into bowls; top with basil and serve with the sandwiches.
