Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 8 oz pasta (any type you prefer)
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp salt (to taste)
  • 1 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh basil (chopped)
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese (grated, for serving)
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even roasting.
  2. Prepare Tomatoes

    In a baking dish, combine halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

    Toss well to ensure even coating.
  3. Roast Tomatoes

    Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, until they are blistered and caramelized.

    Stir halfway through roasting for even cooking.
  4. Cook Pasta

    While the tomatoes are roasting, cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.
  5. Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the roasted tomatoes with the cooked pasta. Add balsamic vinegar, if using, and toss gently.

    Add reserved pasta water if the mixture seems dry.
  6. Serve

    Serve the pasta warm, topped with chopped basil and grated parmesan cheese.

    Add red pepper flakes for extra heat, if desired.
