How to Make Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes

How to Make Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 35 minutes Ingredients: 1 lb penne pasta 3 pints of grape tomatoes, sliced in half 3 large cloves of garlic, sliced thin ½ cup fresh chopped basil ½ cup olive oil Grated parmesan cheese ¼ tsp dried red pepper flakes Salt Pepper Balsamic vinegar Missy: Turn the oven to 350 degrees. And you want the oven on the middle rack. I’m just going to put it on for pasta, and put a little salt in there too. So I’m going to take the tomatoes, toss in garlic, my red pepper flakes, and tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Put half a teaspoon of salt, this is coarse salt, just to flavor, just to taste. Cover them with olive oil and then I’m going to toss it on. And when it’s nice and coated, I’m going to lay it out on a rimmed baking sheet. Just lay them out in one even layer, and in they go. The water is boiling for the pasta. I’m going to add that now. We’ve been roasting this for about 35 minutes and they look good. See the skins are kind of puckered, the juice is bubbling. They’re not really brown and the garlic is a little golden on the edges like right here. It’s not burned. Then we’re going to let them sit for about 10 minutes. Perfect. Loosen tomatoes from baking sheet, pour tomatoes over pasta. And I’m also going to take that basil. Mix, add pepper to taste. Add parmesan cheese. Nate: Really good.
