Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- In a larger bowl, toss the tomatoes with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic and extra virgin olive oil. Transfer to a sheet-pan and bake in heated oven 25 to 35 minutes or just until the tomatoes collapse and develop some char (if you don't want them too soft, take the tomatoes out earlier). When ready, remove from the oven. (See notes)
- While the tomatoes are roasting, cook the spaghetti in boiling water according to the package to al dente (about 10 minutes). Reserve ½ cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta.
- Transfer the cooked spaghetti to a large bowl (same bowl used earlier for the tomatoes). Add the pesto and toss to coat. If you need to, add a little bit of the pasta cooking water to help mix it evenly. Taste, and if needed, add a bit of kosher salt and black pepper to season.
- Add the roasted tomatoes and mozzarella to the bowl of pasta. Toss to combine. Serve warm. Garnish with fresh basil, if you like.

JUICY PESTO PASTA!
Recipe video above. This is how to make a great pesto pasta that's slick with pesto sauce without adding tons and tons of oil which makes it overly oily. The secret is using the pasta cooking water - it emulsifies with the oil in the pesto which makes it cling to every strand of pasta. A technique used in every Italian household! Make this with homemade pesto for the best flavour.

YUMMY PESTO PASTA DISH
I don't remember where the combination came from for the recipe but I got a tub of the Buitoni Pesto Pasta (It's got a green lid) and forgot what I needed it for, and I saw "add to your favorite pasta" on the lid. I tried Penne, Spaghetti, Fettucini, Rotini, Elbow, and none of them worked right, I finally tried Farfalle(Bowtie) pasta. It worked amazing. I've had no one turn it down yet, even my picky cousins make it for themselves!

Steps:
- Get a pot of water boiling for the pasta, I eyeball it when filling it up.
- Once water is boiling, add pasta, let cook for about 12 minutes, depending on the brand of Farfalle you use.
- After the pasta is finished, drain it, and return it to the pot it was cooked it, make sure the heat is off underneath it. Add the pesto sauce into the pasta and stir until everything is pretty much covered. Add in everything else, and stir til its all combined. Top off with with the Cheese and enjoy!
- NOTE: I've tried using other brands of the Pesto sauce, and I don't like them as much, the basil in the Buitoni is a sweet basil I believe. I don't recommend using a pesto paste either, it tastes very bitter.
