COOKING TIME

Tomato Basil Pasta

Ingredients

10 ounce Whole Wheat Linguine (or gluten-free pasta)
2 Tbsp. Olive oil
2 cups Grape or cherry tomatoes
1 large White onions (thinly sliced)
6 clove Garlic, raw (minced)
1 Large Red bell peppers (cut into strips)
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 to taste Black pepper
1/2 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
1/2 cup White wine
1 15 ounce can Canned no salt added white beans (drained and rinsed)
3/4 cup Fresh basil (chiffonade)
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Instructions

Gather all ingredients and equipment.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta.

Once water is boiling, add the pasta. Cook for 9-12 minutes or until pasta is al dente.

After the pasta is cooked, pour into a strainer, add a 1 tsp. of oil to prevent sticking, stir, and set aside.

Heat a medium size sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil. Add the tomatoes and cook for 3-6 minutes without stirring. Shake the pan to agitate the tomatoes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until all of the tomatoes have lightly charred skin that is cracking and a soft, juicy interior.

Once tomatoes are blistered, reduce heat to medium and add the finely sliced onion to pan. Cook for 5 minutes or until onion is soft and tender.

Once the onion is tender, add the garlic, red bell pepper, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender, stirring frequently.

Remove the pan from heat and add the white wine and the white beans. Place back on the heat and simmer to reduce the sauce by about half.

Add cooked pasta. Stir to combine.

Top with basil and parmesan. Serve.

Recipe Notes

An easy, staple dinner.

"Those places I don't understand, just doing bad food. It takes some doing. Making good pasta is so much easier than making bad stuff. It actually takes quite an effort to make poor linguine pomodora."
