Cherry Tomato Candy Pasta
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 pound pasta + 2 tablespoons salt
- 1/2 – 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup (or freshly chopped basil plus a dash of extra olive oil)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Roast tomatoes. Pour washed cherry tomatoes onto a baking sheet. Slather with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and sugar. Roast for about 15 minutes, until the tomatoes start to look charred on the outside or burst.
- Cook pasta. While the tomatoes are roasting, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add salt and follow instructions for making al dente pasta. RESERVE a cup of cooking water when you drain.
- Combine. Pour roasted tomatoes into the drained pasta pot, along with the cooked pasta. Add Parmesan cheese and pesto, then stir. Add reserved water if needed, a little at a time. Or drizzle a little extra olive oil on top.
