Green tomatoes give a dish a slight tartness, but with added ingredients and seasonings, it’s a delicious and healthy way of eating. IMG_2801 Green Tomato SpaghettiFor this pasta dish that calls for angel hair, cut and fry 7 strips bacon to a softened stage so the pasta will maintain a soft texture throughout.IMG_2815 Green Tomato SpaghettiImmediately throw in chopped yellow onion and 4 or 5 jalapenos with seeds included if the peppers are mild.  Don’t worry-I promise this won’t be too hot!  The roux, the bacon grease, and the dense green tomatoes help soak up and even out any heat that is unintended.  You need a good underlying heat, at least, if just a smudge.  People are afraid to dab with the peppers.  They don’t know what they’re missing.  Don’t have the palette for cardboard, eat with spice in your life; enjoy.  IMG_2820 Green Tomato SpaghettiAdd 5 organic French marigold flowers, petals only.  They are rich in flavonoids and vitamin C.  They contain lycopene that lowers the risk of heart disease  and prostate cancer.IMG_2828 Green Tomato SpaghettiDepending on the size of green tomatoes you have, cut open and quarter 6 or 7 medium-large ones.IMG_2832 Green Tomato SpaghettiGather marigold leaves to fill 3/4 cup, chop to measure 1/3 cup without packing.  The leaves have the same nutritional value, if not more, than the marigold blossoms.

Add salt and pepper.IMG_2835 Green Tomato SpaghettiPour in 32 ounces beef broth.  It’s a hearty, healthy and tasteful soup at this point.IMG_2838 Green Tomato SpaghettiMelt in 1 cup Parmesan cheese, then make a roux in the broth.

For the roux, a thickener:  In a cup or small bowl, whisk a small amount of the broth with 1 tablespoon cornstarch, then stir all of it back into the broth.  Allow to cook for a minute, then repeat process, even a third or fourth time if necessary, until desired thickness is achieved before adding 1 pound cooked angel hair.IMG_2840 Green Tomato Spaghetti
