Pasta With Roasted Tomato Peach Sauce Recipes

PASTA WITH ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Roast the tomatoes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Halve 5 plum tomatoes. On two large rimmed baking sheets, arrange tomatoes, cut side up, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until softened and edges are crinkled, about 1 hour. Let cool.
• Set a large pot of salted water to boil. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine tomatoes, oil, capers (if using), and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain pasta and return to pot; toss with tomato mixture. Serve pasta topped with basil.

PASTA WITH ROASTED TOMATO-PEACH SAUCE

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Place tomatoes, garlic cloves, peach halves, onion, and jalapeno pepper on a baking sheet.
• Broil for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, turning every 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. When cool enough to handle, remove and discard skins on onion and garlic cloves. Transfer all vegetables, peach halves, and any juices to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until a smooth puree forms.
• Transfer tomato mixture to a large saucepan. Add basil, rosemary, olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Bring to a simmer over low heat; cook for at least 30 minutes.
• While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until partially cooked, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of cooking liquid.
• Add pasta to tomato sauce with 1/2 cup reserved cooking liquid. Cook until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, adding more liquid if necessary, 3 to 5 minutes more.

PASTA WITH ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 475 degrees F. Quarter the tomatoes, then scoop the seeds and pulp into a sieve set over a bowl (reserve the tomatoes). Press on the seeds and pulp to extract the juice (you should have about 1/2 cup). Chop the tomatoes and toss with 3 tablespoons olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Toss the zucchini with 3 tablespoons olive oil on a separate baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast, switching the position of the pans halfway through, until tender and browned in spots, 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta as the label directs; reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic; cook 2 minutes. Add the cherry peppers; cook 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, then the reserved tomato juice and 1/2 cup cooking water. Bring to a boil; simmer until reduced by half, 5 minutes. Add the pasta, vegetables, basil and parmesan to the skillet; season with salt. Cook, tossing, 1 minute, adding more of the reserved cooking water as needed to loosen.

SLOW-ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE WITH PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Drain the tomatoes, then transfer them to a baking sheet. Gently break the tomatoes up with your hands or kitchen scissors into a mix of big and little chunks. Stir in the garlic, olive oil, hot sauce, if using, and salt.
• Roast, stirring occasionally (and more frequently after the first hour of cooking), until the tomatoes turn dark red and the edges begin to caramelize, about 2 hours. Mash with a fork to break up the garlic and any remaining chunks of tomato.
• Bring a large pot or Dutch oven of heavily salted water to the boil. Cook your pasta al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, and drain the pasta. Return the pot to the stove, turn the heat to medium-high, then add the tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of pasta water. Let simmer until combined, glossy and saucy, about a minute or 2, adding more pasta water as needed. Add the pasta and toss to coat.
