Tomato & Kale Marinara
You can never have too many easy go-to pasta sauce recipes! This is another one that's made with ingredients you probably have on hand, plus it packs in some extra servings of veggies for a bowl full of beautiful color that the whole fam - whether gluten-free or not - can enjoy together.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 package Taste Republic Gluten-Free Fusilli
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1–2 small shallots, finely diced
  • 2 small cans whole tomatoes or 1 large can
  • Fresh cherry tomatoes, sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup
  • 1 handful fresh oregano, basil, or thyme, chopped
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese, for serving (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat olive oil in a medium pot. Add shallots and onion and cook, stirring often, until they begin to soften. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
  2. Add the canned tomatoes to a medium bowl and break them up with a potato masher or wooden spoon.
  3. Add the tomatoes and their juices to the pot along with fresh cherry tomatoes, if using. Stir in agave, sea salt, pepper, fresh herbs, and tomato paste.
  4. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

  6. Serve the tomato sauce over the Fusilli and top with freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese, if desired. Enjoy!
