A very fresh, healthy pasta dish that can be adapted to your own liking very easily. You could add chicken, shrimp, scallops, etc if you want a more substantial dish. The best part is the smell of the kitchen while you're roasting the ingredients. I got this recipe from a friend who got it from the cookbook 'Seriously Simple.' Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ripe cherry tomatoes |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 cup fresh french breadcrumbs |
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 lb penne pasta (fusilli or farfallini would work too) |
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put the tomato halves in a large baking dish.
2. In a small bowl combine breadcrumbs, garlic, cheese, salt and pepper. Spoon evenly over the tomatoes. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the mixture.
3. Roast the tomatoes for 30-35 minutes, or until mixture is bubbly, browned, or slightly thickened.
4. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente and drain.
5. Add pasta to the tomato mixture in the baking dish. Add fresh basil and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
