I came up with this recipe after seeing something similar on a menu at a local Italian restaurant.
1/4 | Cup | Olive oil |
1 | Onion | Chopped |
2 | Green onions | Sliced (tops and all) |
3 | Cloves | Garlic, crushed and chopped |
1 | Head | Escarole, washed and |
torn into bite size peices | ||
8 | Slices | Sun dried tomatoes (poached |
and cooled-reserve liquid) | ||
Salt and pepper to taste | ||
1 | Lb. | Cavatelli, frozen or home made |
(may be purchase in frozen food | ||
section of super market) | ||
1/2 | Cup | Parmesan cheese |
Freshly grated if possible |
Put a large non stick skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Saute onions and garlic until onions are soft. Add the escarole and cover. Allow to steam in its own moisture until it has wilted. Remove the lid and continue cooking until the escarole is tender. (about 10 minutes) Slice the tomatoes into julienne strips. Add to the skillet with the reserved poaching liquid. Toss. Cook another 3 minutes. Add the cavatelli. Toss. Add the cheese and toss again. Serve immediately.
