The tomatoes are finally here and we are very happy to use them in the recipes this week. We also included peppers and tomatillos in the share for the first time this year. That means that we get to use some great ingredients. The salsa recipe is the perfect use of the tomatoes and tomatillos, and is very easy to make. We also have a delicious potato salad. Both dishes are perfect for barbecues. We hope you enjoy the recipes we have for you this week!
Caramelized Fennel and Celery Pasta
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook 10 oz of penne pasta according to package. Make sure to reserve 1 cup of pasta water for later use. Meanwhile heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large straight side skillet over medium heat. Add chopped fennel bulbs, 1/2 of the celery bunch, and 3 cloves of garlic thinly sliced. Cook until tender and deep golden, about 10 minutes. Add the pasta, pasta water, and 1/4 cup chopped fennel fronds. Stir to coat pasta, and add in 1 4.2oz can of sardines drained. Cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes. Season with salt pepper, and drizzle with olive oil.
