Pasta & Beans & Tomatoes ... Oh My!

Penne Pasta with Beans & Tomatoes

Made: June 17, 2011

Ingredients:

- 4 oz fresh green beans
- 4 oz penne pasta (1-2 cups)
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3-4 ripe Roma tomatoes; chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
- Salt & Pepper

Directions:

- Wash beans. Remove ends and strings.
- Cut beans into 1-inch pieces
- Cook beans and pasta in lightly salted boiling water for 14 minutes (or until pasta is tender)
- Drain beans and pasta; set aside.
- Cook onion in oil in a medium saucepan for 2-3 minutes or until onion is tender.
- Add the tomatoes and wine to the saucepan. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
- Toss in the beans,pasta and Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately. Sprinkle with extra cheese if needed

I think this turned out pretty yummy. :) I shredded fresh Parmesan cheese from a wedge and I think the extra sprinkle afterward gave it a good flavor profile. I also sprinkled the onion with garlic salt and garlic powder as I roasted them in the oil. It smelled good! :) Enjoy!
