- 1 lb. fettuccine or penne whole-wheat pasta
- 3 oz. black olives sliced or halved
- 6 oz. marinated artichoke hearts drained and roughly chopped
- ½ (7 oz.) jar julienne-cut sun-dried tomatoes
For the Romesco sauce:
- 12 oz. jar roasted red peppers drained
- 14 oz. can fire-roasted diced tomatoes drained
- ½ cup almond or cashew butter or other nut or seed butter but NOT peanut butter
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 2 Tbs. red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- ⅛ tsp. cayenne pepper
- salt to taste
For the pasta:
Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
Warm the Romesco sauce a bit in the microwave.
Drain the cooked pasta and toss with Romesco sauce and all remaining ingredients.
-
If you don’t have fire-roasted tomatoes, you can use regular diced tomatoes. Any type of nut or seed butter will work, but only if it doesn’t have peanuts. Peanuts will have too strong a taste.
-
Remaining and sun-dried tomatoes can be added to salads throughout the week.
-
Be sure to reserve ½ cup of the sauce for the Hearty Romesco Pressed Sandwich later in the week.
