(Frozen) Cherry Tomato Sauce W/Orange

• 2-2.5 cups frozen cherry tomatoes*
• 1.5 Tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic, (chopped finely)
• 1/4 t red pepper flakes
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Juice and zest from one half orange
• 1 1/2 c cooked white beans
• 1/2 c shredded ricotta salata or pecorino romano

1. Add olive oil to pan, heat over medium flame. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, and let cook for a few minutes, until fragrant (but not brown)
2. Add the tomatoes, giving them a good stir. They will start to cook and defrost. Keep the heat low at first. As the tomatoes start to give off their liquid, you can turn the heat up.
3. Add salt and let the tomatoes cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce is very thick. This is not a slowly simmered sauce. You want the heat rather high, so the tomatoes cook quickly, and almost start to carmelize at the edge of the pan.
4. Once the sauce is thickened, add half of the orange juice, and let it cook for about 1 minute. Add the rest of the juice, and turn off heat.
5. Add orange zest.(put lid on to keep warm)
6. Add white beans and shredded cheese.
7. *You can substitute fresh cherry tomatoes
