GREEN TOMATOES WITH PASTA, MINT, AND TOASTED ALMONDS



Green Tomatoes with Pasta, Mint, and Toasted Almonds image

Green-when-ripe tomatoes add freshness and acidity to this mix. The roughly cut flat pieces of egg pasta called maltagliati ("badly cut" in Italian) are often made from pasta scraps left over from cutting another shape. They"re available at many Italian markets and at eataly.com. Pappardelle, broken into pieces, is a fine substitution.
