Scallion, Cherry Tomato, and Pepper Penne

Finally we actually dip into one of my Marcella Hazan books! This quick, fresh pasta was from Marcella Cucina . I used a gluten-free pasta (which Sophia and I aren’t technically allowed to eat, but we do make the exceptions once in awhile) (uhmmm, I’m sure you’ve noticed that), and had found some really gorgeous scallions at a local Korean grocery. Marcella warns that this dish is pointless unless you can find ripe, juicy cherry tomatoes – thankfully there were just those tomatoes at our organic grocery. Jalapeno peppers and garlic are the only other ingredients, really:

The scallions are left large (in two-inch pieces), the cherry tomatoes halved, and the garlic and peppers very thinly sliced. Then a sautĂ© is done, and to the table it goes. I’ll have to remember this dish for other nights when culinary disaster looms – it was quick and very fresh and bright!
