When you accidentally plant tomato seeds instead of building a tree house for your children, you'll have to learn how to put a tomato to good use. Today's Groupon gives you a tasty education in the red fruitgetable with $30 worth of Italian cuisine at Tomatina for $15. Bring a flavorful tutorial to your palate with professorial pizzas and pastas straight from the tomato academy. Your Groupon is good at all of Tomatina's locations, each of which forges satisfying dishes with doughs and sauces made from scratch and incorporates prize selections of artisan meats.

Enter a comforting family atmosphere and then follow your fancy along an ever-changing menu of Italian and Mediterranean meals. Start by wrapping your fingers around a toasty bruschetta ($6.95) before welcoming in the main course with your elbows. Stay parmigiany with eggplant parmigiana (stacked with three cheeses and hearty marinara, $9.50), or let your inner artist blossom by building your own custom pizza with anything from arugula to sautéed mushrooms, fingerling potatoes, calabrese sausage, feta, and much more (personal pizzas start at $8.75). A love of layers may even lead your archeological side through the house lasagna (with fennel sausage and oven-roasted tomato sauce, $11.50).

Science proves through countless sauce-stained reports that a true Italian supper fuels and warms the soul quicker than Soul-Warmer. Until the day you can make an al dente pizza pie in a pasta pot, putting trust in classic recipes is an economic use of your tomato stock.
