Pasta ala Gill
There couldn't be a more flexible dish. Call it what you will - but its a "kitchen sink" dish that helps use some fresh produce before it's too late. Ingredients: Spaghetti, or pasta of you choice Onion, or shallot - 1 cup, diced Garlic - 3 cloves, minced Oregano - a few shakes Red Pepper Flakes - a pinch White wine - 1 cup Broth, or starch water - 1/2 cup Veggies - suggested: mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, etc. Cherry tomatoes - 1 cup, sliced in halves Parmesan cheese, we go big with this... Sautee onions, garlic and spices until translucent. Add the wine and cook it off, add the broth/water, reduce. Add fresh veggies until softened, but not floppy. Once sauce is the volume you want, add the halved tomatoes just to warm them. When pasta is done to your liking, fork into a shallow bowl, ladle some sauce and top with parmesan.
