Roast Cherry Tomatoes with Olives & Bowties

By devogirl

Cherry tomatoes are finally on the scene again at our local farmer’s market….and in our garden, too! I’ve been waiting for weeks for them to be ripe enough to pick. When you roast the tomatoes, it makes them even sweeter.

Ingredients

• 1 Pint Cherry Tomatoes
• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 Tsp Fresh Thyme, chopped or 1/4 Dried Thyme
• 1 Clove Garlic, minced
• 1/2 Tsp Salt
• 1/3 Cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• 8 oz Farfalle (Bowtie) Pasta (about 1/2 a bag or box)
• 1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Toss the first 5 ingredients together on a sheet tray to coat the tomatoes.
3. Bake for 25 minutes or until tomatoes are starting to burst.
4. While the tomatoes are baking, cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions.
5. Combine the tomatoes, pasta, olives and cheese and toss to combine.
6. Serve.
