Summer Pasta with Brown Butter and Blistered Tomatoes
- 1- 1/2 pint Cherry Or Grape Tomatoes
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 3/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 14 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Sliced, Divided
- 1 pound Dry Linguine Pasta
- 6 ounces, weight White Button Mushrooms, Sliced
- 1 bunch Asparagus, Ends Cut Off And Cut Into 1-inch Pieces
- 1 head Broccoli, Chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 2 cups Fresh Kale, Chopped
- 4 whole Fried Or Poached Eggs (optional)
- 2 Tablespoons Green Onions, Sliced (garnish)
- 1/4 cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated
- Preheat your oven to 400 F and line a large baking sheet with foil or a silicone baking mat.
- Add the tomatoes to the pan, drizzle with olive oil and season with a generous amount of salt and pepper.
- Place pan in the oven and roast for 8-10 minutes or until you begin to see the tomatoes start to blister.
- Remove from oven and set aside.
- In a large skillet, add 12 tablespoons of the unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Taking a spoon, swirl the butter until it has melted.
- Continue to swirl the butter for 5-6 minutes until it just begins to brown (its OK if the butter is bubbly), then remove from heat.
- The butter can quickly go from brown to burnt, so as soon as it begins to brown and a nutty aroma fills the air, remove the pan from the heat immediately.
- Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
- Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions for al dente, typically about 8-10 minutes.
- Drain and set aside.
- While your pasta is cooking, prepare your veggies.
- In a large saute pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add the mushrooms, and cook for 5 minutes.
- Then add your asparagus, broccoli and garlic.
- Season with salt and pepper and saute until the veggies are bright and begin to soften, about 5 more minutes.
- Add the kale and cook for 1-2 minutes or just until the kale has wilted.
- Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, toss together the blistered tomatoes, brown butter, pasta, and sauteed veggies.
- Serve the pasta with a fried or poached egg on top and sprinkle with sliced green onions and Parmesan cheese.
- Enjoy!
