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.

Provided by Scott Koeneman

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.

PASTA WITH ROASTED GARLIC AND CHERRY TOMATOES



Pasta With Roasted Garlic and Cherry Tomatoes image

Prep time approx. 40 min (I found this in the May 2003 Canadian Living Magazine) This is a quick and easy recipe. Garlic becomes mellow when roasted,(so don't let 12 cloves scare you away) and roasting the tomatoes brings out the rich flavor. The two compliment each other. Using cherry tomatoes saves time so if you use other kinds of tomatoes it may take longer. I have two kids age 11 and 14 who love this recipe and always have more than one helping.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 zucchini, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
Freshly ground pepper
12 ounces campanelle pasta (or other short pasta)

Press on the seeds and pulp to extract the juice (you should have about 1/2 cup). Chop the tomatoes and toss with 3 tablespoons olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Toss the zucchini with 3 tablespoons olive oil on a separate baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast, switching the position of the pans halfway through, until tender and browned in spots, 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta as the label directs; reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic; cook 2 minutes. Add the cherry peppers; cook 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, then the reserved tomato juice and 1/2 cup cooking water. Bring to a boil; simmer until reduced by half, 5 minutes. Add the pasta, vegetables, basil and parmesan to the skillet; season with salt. Cook, tossing, 1 minute, adding more of the reserved cooking water as needed to loosen.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best results. Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, or any other variety that is in season will work well.
  • Roast the tomatoes until they are caramelized: This will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor. Roast the tomatoes at a high temperature (400°F or higher) for 20-30 minutes, or until they are browned and slightly charred.
  • Use a good quality pasta: Fresh, high-quality pasta will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for a pasta that is made with durum wheat and has a good texture.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or oregano, will add a pop of flavor and color to the dish. Add the herbs just before serving.
