Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces multicolored grape tomatoes (such as Wild Wonder®)
½ cup olive oil, divided
1 ½ tablespoons Asiago-Romano cheese mix
⅓ (6 ounce) can sliced black olives, including all the juice
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ pound dry fettuccine pasta, broken in half
2 ½ ounces lacinato kale, cut into small pieces
¼ stick unsalted butter
⅓ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Put tomatoes in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, Asiago-Romano cheese mix, black olive and juice, pepper, garlic, oregano, parsley, and basil. Stir and let marinate for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, transfer juice from the marinating tomatoes to a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil, about 5 minutes. Cook fettuccine at a boil for 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and kale. Continue cooking until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes more. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water. Drain pasta and keep warm.
  • Add reserved pasta cooking water to the saucepan with the tomato marinade. Continue cooking to thicken and reduce the sauce. Add butter to the sauce and allow to melt, about 1 minute. Add cream and continue cooking until sauce is thickened as desired.
  • Transfer cooked pasta to a large serving bowl. Add tomatoes and top with cream sauce.
