Description

Cherry tomato pasta is a flavorful dish with sweet, caramelized tomatoes and fresh herbs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
  • 16 ounces spaghetti or long pasta of choice
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

2. Add tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to a large-rimmed baking sheet and toss to combine.

3. Roast the tomatoes for 15 minutes, then broil on high for 1-2 minutes until slightly browned on the edges.

4. Meanwhile, cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water, then drain without rinsing.

5. Transfer pasta to a large bowl and add roasted tomatoes with pan juices. Toss well, adding reserved pasta water if needed.

6. Garnish with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese and serve.


Notes

For air fryer tomatoes, cook at 400°F for 9-12 minutes, shaking halfway through.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
