This one-dish baked fettuccine with cherry tomatoes and kale is a great hands-off recipe that results in succulent flavors and requires very little washing up. It’s so easy! Grab a baking dish, add tomatoes, aromatics, and fresh rosemary, and roast for 20 minutes, letting the flavors intensify. Then, add the pasta—we advise breaking the dry fettuccine into pieces before stirring in—broth, kale, and hummus, and leave it to cook for half an hour. The hummus, tomatoes, and broth create a zesty sauce that cooks the pasta, and you get to put your feet up while the oven does the heavy lifting. Sprinkle with sliced Kalamata olives just before serving. Enjoy it as it is or with a garden salad for extra greens.
