Pasta with Garlic Scapes, Greens and Red Peppers
1 bunch of garlic scapes, trimmed of hard stems and blossoms, cut in 1/2” pieces
1 bunch of kale, hard stems removed, chopped
1 bunch of swiss chard or other greens, chopped
2 roasted red peppers, sliced thin
8 oz extra firm or super firm tofu, cut in 1 cm pieces
8 oz gluten free pasta (Tinkyada rice pasta is my favorite brand), cooked
3-4 sprigs of fresh oregano, chopped finely, stems removed
3 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Heat olive oil in skillet and saute scapes, salt/pepper and oregano for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Add kale and chard and cook 2 minutes or until wilted. Remove from heat.
