Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Slice each tomato into 8 wedges and discard the seeds. Put the tomato wedges and garlic into a 9 by 13-inch roasting pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and a few turns of pepper. Roast in the oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
- Drain the beans into a large colander in the sink. Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. Drain the pasta into the colander containing the beans, so the hot pasta water will warm the beans. Return drained pasta and beans to the pasta pot.
- When the tomatoes are done, pick out the garlic cloves, squeeze the garlic out of the skin into a small bowl and mash with a fork. Pour the roasted tomatoes into the pasta pot, add the garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the basil and additional salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to combine. Serve topped with the Parmesan.

PASTA WITH TOMATOES AND BEANS
This pasta is one reason I always keep a few cans of tomatoes and cannellinis in my pantry. Beans contribute protein to this pasta, which makes a great vegan dish if you serve it without the cheese.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet or saucepan. Add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add the garlic, and stir together until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes with juice and a pinch of sugar. Raise the heat slightly, and cook, stirring, until the tomatoes are bubbling vigorously. Lower the heat to medium-low, and cook gently, stirring and mashing the tomatoes often with the back of your spoon until they have cooked down into a thick, fragrant sauce, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the beans and the herbs, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
- When the pasta water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the pasta. Cook al dente, following the recommendations on the package but checking about a minute before the indicated time. When the pasta is just about done, check to see if the tomato sauce seems dry. If so, add up to 1/4 cup of the pasta water to the pan and stir. Drain the pasta, toss with the sauce and serve, passing the cheese for sprinkling.

Steps:
- Soak the beans in water to cover overnight. Place in a large pot with the chicken stock and add water to cover. Simmer 45 minutes to an hour, or until the beans are tender.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 300 degrees. Slice the tomatoes very thin and place them on an oiled roasting dish. You will probably need two dishes. Roast for 30 minutes to an hour, or until they begin to shrivel up and get brown around the edges. Remove from the oven, scrape up with a spatula and set aside. The tomatoes will not hold their shape but this does not matter.
- Season the beans to taste with salt and pepper. Place in a heated serving dish and sprinkle with the tomatoes.

Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander and return it to the pot.
- Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes in half, scrape the seeds out of each half with a small tool or your finger, and cut into 1-inch pieces. Peel the garlic and leave the cloves whole. Coarsely chop the basil leaves.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and garlic, cover, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the garlic is soft. Remove the garlic from the pan and set aside. Put the beans in a strainer and rinse under running water. Drain the beans and add them to the pan, then remove the pan from the heat. Smash the garlic with a fork and add it to the drained pasta. Add the tomatoes and basil, stir well, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the pasta into a large serving bowl, sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.
- Basil is native to India, though it's since become integral to the cooking of countries as far a field as Italy and Thailand. When it migrated to Italy, it became a symbol of love, with young women wearing sprigs in their hair to encourage their suitors.

MEATLESS PENNE PASTA WITH WHITE BEANS, ROASTED TOMATOES, AND HERBS
Steps:
- If you need to roast the tomatoes, preheat oven to 250 F. Cut tomatoes in fourths lengthwise, sprinkle with sea salt and roast 2 hours on a cookie sheet that's covered with foil. When tomatoes are nearly done roasting, chop onion, and rosemary and mince the garlic. Heat olive oil in heavy frying pan, then add onions and saute about 5 minutes, until just starting to brown. Add the garlic and cook about 2 minutes more. Add chicken stock and canned beans, turn heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes. Add the chopped rosemary and cook about 10 minutes more. Then add the roasted tomatoes and cook 5-10 minutes more. Stir in the chopped basil or pesto if using and turn off the heat. While sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add pasta, and cook until al dente, about 9 minutes for Dreamfields. Drain well, saving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Toss the pasta with the sauce, adding the reserved cooking water if needed. Serve hot, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice.
- Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness.
- If you don't have time to roast the tomatoes, you can use sun-dried tomatoes instead.
- Cannellini beans are a good source of protein and fiber. You can also use other white beans, such as Great Northern beans or navy beans.
- Use a good quality olive oil for the best flavor.
- Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a lot of flavor to the dish. Don't skip them!
- Serve the pasta immediately, while it's hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
This meatless penne pasta with white beans, roasted tomatoes, and herbs is a delicious and satisfying meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual lunch. The roasted tomatoes add a burst of sweetness and flavor, and the white beans provide a good source of protein and fiber. The fresh herbs add a touch of brightness and freshness.
