You didn’t think I froze all of the slow roasted tomatoes, right? As I was filling jars I was dreaming of this recipe for Roasted Tomato Pasta with Kale and Mozzarella: penne pasta in a rich sauce of roasted tomatoes and tender kale topped with melting mozzarella.
If you’ve already roasted the tomatoes, the hardest part of this Roasted Tomato Pasta is boiling pasta. If you haven’t roasted tomatoes, then you’ll have to open a can of roasted tomatoes. Either way, you’ll have dinner – or a really nice lunch – on the table in 15 minutes flat.
