How to Make Baked Tomato Sauce With Pasta
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Select a shallow baking dish large enough to hold tomatoes in a single layer.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the bottom of the baking dish.
- Cut 2 pounds of tomatoes. If using round tomatoes, cut into quarters; if using Roma tomatoes, cut in half.
- Toss the cut tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring all cut surfaces are coated.
- Arrange the tomatoes cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Sprinkle the herb and spice mixture evenly over the tomatoes.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until tomatoes are very soft and slightly caramelized.
- While the tomatoes are baking, cook 1 pound of pasta according to package directions. Drain well.
- Gently toss the cooked pasta with the baked tomatoes and their juices in the baking dish.
- Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese (optional) and fresh parsley for garnish.
