Preparation

Step 1

Roast Tomatoes first:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle 3 tablespoons olive oil over the grape tomatoes and 3 garlic cloves, and sprinkle with salt, pepper.

Pour the tomatoes and 3 garlic cloves in a 9x13 glass-baking dish, ensuring they are in just one layer. Roast for 20 minutes, and then stir. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of hot water if too dry in appearance. Return to the oven and cook for 20 to 30 more minutes. When ready, the tomatoes will have begun to shrivel and the liquid in the dish should have thickened. Serve hot from oven as an amazing side dish to my blue cheese butter stuffed filets. Yummy! (Note: If tomatoes are not in season, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out that sweetness as in an in-season grape tomato.)

For the Tomatoes and Pasta:

Cook the angel hair (box or pre-packaged fresh pasta) as per the directions on the package.

Drain the pasta and add tomatoes.

Grab a large handful of lemon basil leaves or regular basil leaves and cut into ribbons or add whole to the warm pasta.
