Pasta Rosa Verde image

This pasta makes a beautiful presentation with the fresh tomatoes and baby spinach. The name means red and green pasta, and it's appropriate. I got this from my mother-in-law in an e-mail, but I have no clue where she found it. Easy to make, great dish for a week night when you don't really feel like cooking an involved meal, but you still want to eat something a little classy.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb penne
4 -6 tomatoes, diced
1 medium white onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups fresh Baby Spinach
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
gorgonzola
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Heat oil over medium heat and saute onions and garlic until soft.
  • Add tomatoes and heat until they start to release their liquid.
  • Add the spinach and cook until just wilted, add the salt and pepper to taste and stir in.
  • With a slotted spoon, scoop the sauce into a bowl, discarding any excess liquid.
  • Serve over the pasta and top with toasted pine nuts and crumbled cheese to taste.
  • Note: I thought this was pretty good with the gorgonzola but it's a little strong. It would be just as good with romano or parmesan.
  • Enjoy!
