Farmer's Market Delight




We hit up the farmer’s market on Divisidero and Grove this past Sunday and came back with some delicious produce. Here is something you can make in a pinch!

This recipe serves two.

2 cloves of garlic
3 small heirloom tomatoes
3 T olive oil
2 T fresh basil
1 T of olive paste tapenade
Angel hair the size of a quarter in diameter
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup organic chicken stock

Start off with a medium pot filled with water. While the water is getting hot. Chop up your garlic. I try to get it really fine. Cut up the basil really thinly too. We took it from our basil plant, Mr. B. He is going down hill so we are trying to use him up! Chop up your tomatoes and get ready to cook!



Heat up your non stick skillet pan, on medium heat. While you are heating up the pan, add the angel hair pasta to the boiling water. Cool until al dente.



Once the non stick pan is pretty hot, pour your olive oil in the pan. Once sizzling, add your garlic. Cook until turns a little brown on the edges.



Next throw in the tomatoes, then add the tapenade. Shake the pan around so the tapenade moves around a bit. Now, hit it with organic chicken stock and let simmer for about a minute.

Once the pasta is ready, add to the skillet and mix altogether. Joe does this super cool “tossing” thing with his wrist, but every time I do that, something falls into the burner. So I kind of push everything around with a spatula.

It is ready to be served. Add some fresh grated parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!
