Chicken Pasta With Home Grown Tomato, Kale, Capsicum and Rosemary | Cooking Adventures

I was given a huge bag of tomatoes and wondered what to do with it. I decided to make a tomato sauce with the leftovers after making this dish. God sure provided, as I used all the tomatoes in this recipe.

So excited to have harvested so much kale when we returned from our holiday. The wicking beds have done an amazing job!
