Farm Fresh Roasted Tomatoes and Pasta

Ingredients

  • 2 pints of cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • sprinkle of kosher salt
  • sprinkle of fresh cracked black pepper
  • 6 large basil leaves
  • 1/2 pound of spaghetti

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375.

Toss the cherry tomatoes with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Scatter over a cookie sheet. Roast until slightly caramelized and they start to burst; about 25 minutes. Stir half way through. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. Drain into a colander.

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the pasta, while it is still in the colander. Gently toss.

Stack the basil leaves on top of each other, and thinly slice.

To serve put the pasta into a large serving bowl and gently toss with the roasted tomatoes. Scatter the basil over the top. Serve. Eat.
