Roasted tomato garlic sauce with white bean balls

Great meatless monday meal!


I used tomatoes from the garden, cut up, added 4-5 garlic cloves, salt, pepper, olive oil & cooking sherry & roasted for an hour at 450 degrees. 


1 can cannellini beans
1 can great northern beans
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
Oregano, thyme & parsley to taste
2 eggs
Salt/pepper
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
2/3 cup bread crumbs

Mix all together, make into balls & fry until browned on each side. Drain on paper towels.


Put 1 small can of tomato paste
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 cup red wine
1 tsp sugar
Purée of roasted tomatoes/garlic (put in food processor)
Juices from roast tomatoes/garlic
Salt, pepper, thyme to taste



Cook pasta of your choice, drain & serve with bean balls, roasted tomato sauce & fresh parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy!

Quick Pasta dinner


Any type of pasta you prefer. I used fettucine.
2 garlic cloves
olive oil
shaved parmesan cheese
salt/pepper
Kale leaves

Boil pasta, when almost done, add kale to the boiling water. While that is cooking, chop 2 garlic cloves. When pasta/Kale is done, toss with olive oil, add chopped garlic, season with salt/pepper & top with shaved parmesan! This is SO quick & easy! My kids even ate the kale!!!! If you're looking for an extremely quick dinner, this is it! You could use spinach if you don't have kale, add sausages if you'd like some meat.
