Roasted Tomato Pasta

ROASTED TOMATO PASTA

A favorite when you want a tasty dinner. This would be a great option if your local farmer's market has ripe and delicious tomatoes available! 

A quick, small list of ingredients, healthy dinner. 

STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Slice your tomatoes and roughly chop garlic. 

STEP TWO: Place tomatoes and garlic into a large bowl. Mix in 1/4 cup olive oil and 2T balsamic vinegar. Make sure to coat the tomatoes. 



STEP THREE: Lay the tomatoes flat and not overlapping on a large cookie sheet. 

STEP FOUR: Cook pasta of your choice. 
I love using Trader Joe's Garlic Basil pasta, but your favorite pasta will work wonderful. Choose a whole wheat pasta for an added health benefit.

STEP FIVE: Roast for 30 Minutes. Pull the tomatoes out of the oven (inhale that wonderful smell!) and mix in with your pasta. Roughly chop up the tomatoes so they are distributed throughout the pasta. 

Look at those beauties

STEP SIX: Mix in 1t oregano and any other spices you like to compliment your tomatoes (basil, garlic, parsley). 

And Enjoy!
