ORECCHIETTE WITH FRESH AND DRIED BEANS AND TOMATOES
Once the beans are done, this pasta dish takes only 15 minutes. Orecchiette is a great pasta to use with beans, which lodge in the hollows of the little ears. I used lush Good Mother Stallard beans, an heirloom bean that I ordered from Rancho Gordo for this dish, but you can substitute supermarket pinto or borlottis. Cook them simply and use some of the broth for the sauce. If you have marinara sauce on hand you can use that; otherwise take advantage of the tomatoes arriving in farmers' markets and your garden, and chop up a few of them. No need to cook them if you don't want to.

Steps:
- To cook dried beans, transfer with their soaking water to a heavy pot. Add more water as necessary to cover the beans with 1 1/2 to 2 inches of water. Over medium-high heat, bring to a gentle boil and skim away foam. Add onion and garlic, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 30 minutes. Add salt to taste (I use at least a rounded teaspoon), cover and continue to simmer very gently for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the beans are tender all the way through and their texture is plush and velvety. Taste the bean broth and add more salt as necessary. Remove from heat. Let beans cool in the broth if not using right away.
- Place a strainer over a bowl and drain beans. Measure out 1 cup of the broth and combine with the tomato sauce or tomatoes in a wide pan or a pasta bowl.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously and add orecchiette. Boil 5 minutes and add green beans. Boil another 5 minutes, until pasta is cooked al dente. Drain and toss green beans and pasta with the cooked beans and tomato sauce or tomatoes. Add half the basil and toss again.
- Serve in wide bowls, garnishing each serving with fresh basil and Parmesan.

ORECCHIETTE WITH ROASTED AND SUNDRIED TOMATOES
The comforting flavours in this dish make it one of my favourites to serve up during the colder fall and winter months. Topped with roasted grape tomatoes and grated cheese, orecchiette pasta is the ideal domed pasta shape for cradling savoury sun-dried tomato pesto and aromatic fresh basil.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss together tomatoes, oil and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt in bowl; spread onto prepared baking sheet. Roast in centre of oven for 25 minutes or until shriveled.
- Meanwhile, combine pesto, cheese, 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt and the pepper in large bowl.
- Bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta; stir occasionally until water returns to a boil. Cook for 9 to 11 minutes or until tender but firm. Drain, reserving 1 cup (250 mL) of the pasta cooking water. Toss pasta with pesto mixture. Add half of reserved pasta cooking water and toss again. Add more water if necessary to loosen sauce, adding 1/4 cup (50 mL) at a time. Stir in basil.
- Divide pasta among six bowls; spoon tomatoes over top. Serve with additional grated or shaved cheese, if desired.
