Roasted Cherry Tomato Pasta
Ingredients
- 4 cups cherry tomatoes about 2 pints
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 8 ounces pasta of choice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, and place in an oven safe baking dish. Pour the olive oil on top of the tomatoes, then add the minced garlic, salt, oregano and thyme. Stir in the pan to combine.
Place in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes, until the tomatoes are collapsing and slightly charred.
While the tomatoes roast, cook the pasta according to package instructions.
Once the tomatoes are done, remove the dish from the oven. Add the cooked pasta, along with the chopped basil and lemon juice. Toss to combine.
Serve with some grated parmesan (I used Violife) and more basil.
