How to Make Mediterranean Pasta With Fire Roasted Tomatoes
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Halve 1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes and arrange cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the garlic-herb oil mixture evenly over the tomatoes.
- Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
- Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and slightly browned.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, cook 1 pound of your favorite pasta according to package directions.
- Drain the pasta well, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water.
- Transfer half of the roasted tomatoes to a large bowl. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil and coarsely mash with a fork.
- Add the cooked pasta and remaining roasted tomatoes to the bowl.
- Toss gently to combine. Add a little pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
- Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
