Who hasn’t wistfully bought a package of plump grape tomatoes in the dead of winter, fully aware that their flavor will likely be muted, if present at all? We’ve all been there, and this recipe is the remedy to any buyer’s remorse.
With a bit of slow cooking, those impossibly pert, shiny tomatoes relax and soften, releasing their juices to mingle in a deeply satisfying dish. A supporting cast of bold ingredients rounds out the mix. In this skillet dinner, spiced sausage, tender broccolini spears, and piquant cheese join forces with the tomatoes. For a midwinter pasta dish, it doesn’t get brighter—or more satisfying—than this.
