Dietitian’s tip

Keep the penne to about a cup and let the blistered tomatoes and greens add bulk. Add a side of protein to round it out.

Dietitian’s notes

  • Blistering the tomatoes makes a fresh, light sauce - no jar needed.
  • Stir the greens in off the heat so they wilt without overcooking.
