Categories     Bean     Pasta     Tomato

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

10-12 small tomatoes, roasted (or use 1 cup slow roasted tomatoes)
2 T olive oil
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup minced garlic
2 cups homemade chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 can (15 oz) white beans with juice (or use 2 cups pre-cooked white beans)
1 T chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (or 2-3 T basil pesto), optional
1/2 cup reserved pasta cooking water
3 cups (uncooked) Penne or other pasta
1 tsp. salt, for pasta cooking water
1/2 cup or more coarsely grated fresh Parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • If you need to roast the tomatoes, preheat oven to 250 F. Cut tomatoes in fourths lengthwise, sprinkle with sea salt and roast 2 hours on a cookie sheet that's covered with foil. When tomatoes are nearly done roasting, chop onion, and rosemary and mince the garlic. Heat olive oil in heavy frying pan, then add onions and saute about 5 minutes, until just starting to brown. Add the garlic and cook about 2 minutes more. Add chicken stock and canned beans, turn heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes. Add the chopped rosemary and cook about 10 minutes more. Then add the roasted tomatoes and cook 5-10 minutes more. Stir in the chopped basil or pesto if using and turn off the heat. While sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add pasta, and cook until al dente, about 9 minutes for Dreamfields. Drain well, saving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Toss the pasta with the sauce, adding the reserved cooking water if needed. Serve hot, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

This recipe is too bland. It needs more seasoning.

I'm not a fan of white beans, but I actually really enjoyed this dish. The tomatoes and herbs really helped to balance out the flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover roasted tomatoes. I also added some chopped spinach for extra nutrition.
