Make

Bring a saucepan of water to boil. Salt and add noodles. Cook until al dente, tender but still “with a bite.” Reserve 1/4 cup (59 ml) (for 4 servings - adjust accordingly) of pasta water before draining.
While pasta is cooking, heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add in cooking oil and then garlic, shallots, and sundried tomatoes. Sweat (i.e., release the liquids) these veggies for ~3 minutes. Add in crushed tomatoes, honey, and let simmer.
When pasta is done cooking, set aside ~⅓ of the tomato sauce (you’ll use it for the chile rellenos). Toss the pasta with remainder of the sauce and reserved pasta water.
Slice apples. Toss apples and walnuts into kale salad.
Serve pasta with halved cherry tomatoes and kale salad on the side.
