Spaghetti With Oven Roasted Cherry Tomatoes Recipes

SPAGHETTI WITH ROASTED TOMATOES AND HERBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400° F. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and return it to the pot.
• Meanwhile, on a rimmed baking sheet, toss the tomatoes, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
• Roast the tomatoes, tossing once, until they begin to burst, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Toss the pasta with the tomatoes, herbs, and remaining tablespoon oil. Serve with the Parmesan and additional oil (if desired).

SPAGHETTI WITH ROASTED EGGPLANT AND CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• First, make the tomato sauce: Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 7 to 10 minutes until the vegetables are soft but not browned. Add the tomatoes, crushing them in your hand to break them up. Add the basil and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the sauce is reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the eggplants crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds and put them in a large bowl. Add the garlic, salt, and pepper, and drizzle generously with olive oil. Toss to coat, drizzling in more oil if you needed. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast 20 minutes until eggplants are very tender.
• While the eggplants are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. About 5 minutes before the eggplants are done, drop the pasta into the boiling water and cook until al dente, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain. Bring the tomato sauce to a simmer and pour it into a large pasta bowl. Add the drained spaghetti and stir to coat with the sauce. Fold in the eggplants and the cherry tomatoes. Add the cheese and basil, and another drizzle of oil, and toss gently. Serve immediately and pass extra cheese at the table.

ROASTED CHERRY TOMATO PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread tomatoes in a single later in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add olive oil, shallots, garlic, balsamic vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes; toss until tomatoes are coated with oil and seasonings.
• Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, for 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain pasta and return to the pot.
• Remove tomatoes from the oven and stir into the pasta with fresh basil. Top with Parmesan cheese.
