Pappardelle with runner beans and roasted vine tomatoes


I've been really lazy at cooking lately. I think it's this time of the year that I start feeling pressure like I should be doing loads of things for Christmas, but am also very tired from work. Therefore the cooking has suffered a bit and there have been ready meals, eating out and easy solutions. I really want to shape up now, as I want to post more in November and not be all quiet. I also don't constantly want to come back here just for moaning. There is something positive as well: it's the weekend! I hope you'll all have a great time!

I made this weekday pasta surprisingly with runner beans, not really my standard vegetable. They were nice and earthy in this and tasted just great with the sweet roasted vine tomatoes and the garlic. I can really recommend this as an easy weekday pasta that's still something a bit more special and really comforting.

Pappardelle with runner beans and roasted vine tomatoes

Ingredients

300 g runner beans
270 g cherry vine tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
Olive oil
50 ml dry white wine
Fresh basil leaves
Sea salt to taste
Ground black pepper to taste
Pappardelle pasta
Grated vegetarian parmesan

Method

Trim the runner beans and cut at an angle into small pieces. Steam the beans until they are almost tender. They will be finished later in the pan.

Put the tomatoes and sliced garlic into a baking dish, sprinkle with olive oil and roast them in the oven.

Combine the beans and tomatoes in a pan, followed by the wine. Cook for a while and season.

Cook the pasta until al dente, mix with the vegetables and serve with the grated cheese and maybe some lambs lettuce on the side.

Enjoy!



I want to share this recipe with this month's Eat Your Greens event hosted by Shaheen from Allotment 2 Kitchen.

Roasted bell pepper and tomato baguettes


I will take this opportunity to inform you that I'm off to a small holiday tomorrow. I'm sure I can't resist posting photos to Instagram from the location, so at least there you can get some spoilers. After the holiday this blog will of course be full of holiday photos and stories. So I can also reveal that I will be going to Norway, where I haven't been since the 1980s, and never to these parts where I'm now going to. It's so exciting! This autumn break is very much needed right now.

Here is also a quick food post, fully unrelated to the holiday news. I love roasted vegetables and I love putting them on breads, especially bell peppers and tomatoes are perfect for this. Therefore I end up making veggie breads quite often.

This is how simple it can be, here are the ingredients I used this time:

  • sourdough olive baguette
  • small tomatoes roasted in olive oil
  • bell peppers roasted in olive oil
  • whipped soft cheese
  • fresh basil leaves

What goes onto your favourite bread?

Have a great weekend!
