Tomatoes, tomatoes, and MORE tomatoes!!!! They are everywhere. Pouring out of our
CSA box. Growing beautifully on our unruly sweet 100 tomato plant. I'm trying my darnedest to keep up! I was nervous to bring out a new recipe, because my five-year-old is being outrageously picky. He ate this!
INGREDIENTS:
2-3 cups sungold tomatoes or sweet 100's, rinsed and stems removed
4-6 kale leaves, remove stem and roughly chop
one small onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
8 fresh basil leaves, minced
2 cups great northern beans (or other white bean), drained (rinse if canned)
1 lb whole wheat spaghetti
1 cup reserved of pasta cooking water
s&p to taste
Preheat oven to 400. Bring pot of water to boil. Cook spaghetti for 7 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. Meanwhile, place tomatoes in baking dish. Drizzle with olive and salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Add chopped kale and roast an additional 7 minutes. While tomatoes are roasting and pasta is cooking, heat 1-2 Tablespoons of olive oil in a medium/large sauce pan. Add onions until they soften. Add beans to warm. Add garlic and basil, stir. After 30 seconds turn off heat. Add tomatoes and kale when finished roasting. Add s&p to taste. Drain pasta when finished cooking. Add back the 1 cup of water to keep the pasta from being sticky. Top with sauce and serve!
