Provided by Shuzbud

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 lbs cherry tomatoes
1 onion, finely diced
salt, to taste
2 cups dry pasta (I use fusilli)
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, very finely grated
10 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet, over a medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes, onion and salt. Stir frequently. This mixture will need to cook for about 25 minutes until the sauce has developed.
  • When the tomatoes soften and the skins start to burst, press on them to release the juices inside. Once the majority of the skins have burst, it does not need stirring more than once every 5 minutes.
  • Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package, so it will be ready in time for the sauce.
  • After about 25 minutes, the tomatoes should all have split and the juices should have created a sauce. Stir in the mascarpone cheese until melted and blended in.
  • If desired, use a blender or hand-blender to puree the sauce, otherwise it can be left chunky.
  • Add the parmesan cheese and basil leaves to the sauce, stir and serve on top of the pasta or mixed together with the pasta.

ROASTED CHERRY TOMATO PASTA



Roasted Cherry Tomato Pasta image

Roasting enhances the flavors of any vegetable, but seems to add a wonderful, rich sweetness when done with cherry tomatoes. This recipe takes that sweetness, complements it with fresh herbs and a touch of heat from red pepper flakes, with some low-fat ricotta to smooth it all out. I topped it with some salty, nutty Pecorino cheese.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds red cherry tomatoes, halved
½ pound tomatoes, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup julienned fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
12 ounces whole wheat linguine
½ (16 ounce) container low-fat ricotta cheese
½ cup finely shredded Pecorino Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine all tomatoes, garlic, chicken broth, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a large, glass baking dish; toss to coat.
  • Roast in the middle of the preheated oven, stirring regularly, until tomatoes are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir in basil, parsley, and oregano.
  • When the tomatoes have been roasting for about 35 minutes, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 7 minutes (cook for 2 minutes less than package directions.) Drain and return to the pot.
  • Add the roasted tomatoes and herbs to the linguine and cook over medium-low heat for 2 minutes. Add ricotta cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
  • Serve topped with Pecorino Romano cheese.

PENNE WITH ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES



Penne With Roasted Cherry Tomatoes image

This exquisitely simple recipe came to The Times in a 2001 article about Paola di Mauro, an Italian winemaker in Marina, a small town southeast of Rome. She was one of a band of cooks who helped distinguish "cucina casalinga," roughly translated as "housewives' cooking." From her humble kitchen, Ms. di Mauro mentored some of the best Italian chefs and restaurateurs in the United States, including Mario Batali, Lidia Bastianich, Piero Selvaggio and Tony May. Her recipe is easy and calls for just five ingredients - cherry tomatoes, olive oil, pecorino romano and penne pasta - but get your hands on the best ingredients you can afford. Ms. di Mauro intended this to serve four as a first course, but if you're making this for dinner, double the recipe.

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound small cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus 2 to 3 tablespoons for tossing
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup freshly grated pecorino romano, more for serving
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 pound penne

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line bottom of casserole dish with cherry tomatoes in a single layer, halved side up. Pour oil on top, season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle cheese and bread crumbs on top. Bake until tomatoes have wilted, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with enough sea salt so that water tastes mildly of salt. When tomatoes are just about done, add penne to water and cook until al dente (it should be pliable, but still firm in center). Scoop out about a cup of pasta water and reserve. Drain pasta and add to casserole. Fold tomatoes and pasta together, adding another 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil, to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning. If it is dry, add a little reserved pasta water. Serve, passing more grated cheese at the table.

ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES WITH ANGEL HAIR PASTA



Roasted Cherry Tomatoes with Angel Hair Pasta image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound red cherry tomatoes, halved
1 pound yellow cherry tomatoes
1/2 pound small green heirloom tomatoes, quartered
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons slivered garlic
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup chiffonade fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano leaves
1 pound angel hair pasta
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces whole-milk ricotta salata, crumbled
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
1/2 cup grated Pecorino
Additional chopped fresh herbs, garnish
Hot French or Italian bread, accompaniment

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large, glass baking dish, toss the tomatoes with the oil, garlic, vinegar, salt, red pepper flakes, and pepper. Roast until the tomatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and add the basil, parsley, and oregano. Stir well.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Toss with the extra-virgin olive oil. Add the tomatoes and pan juices and cook over low heat until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the ricotta salata cheese and stir until mostly melted, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large serving bowl.
  • Toss with the pine nuts and Pecorino cheese. Garnish with additional herbs, as desired, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. For this recipe, a short pasta like penne or rigatoni works best. The ridges will help hold the sauce.
  • Roast the cherry tomatoes. Roasting the tomatoes brings out their sweetness and umami flavor. Be sure to use a high-quality olive oil and season the tomatoes with salt and pepper before roasting.
  • Use fresh mascarpone cheese. Mascarpone is a soft, creamy cheese that adds a rich flavor to the sauce. Be sure to use fresh mascarpone, as it will have the best flavor and texture.
  • Add some fresh herbs. Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or thyme can brighten up the flavor of the sauce. Add them just before serving for the best flavor.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the sauce is creamy. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This pasta dish is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The roasted cherry tomatoes add a pop of sweetness and flavor, while the mascarpone cheese makes the sauce rich and creamy. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious meal that the whole family will love.
