Bucatini with Butter-Roasted Tomato Sauce image

The garlicky hands-off sauce for this pasta is roasted entirely in the oven, which intensifies the flavor of canned tomatoes.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
8 garlic cloves, peeled, crushed
2 anchovy fillets packed in oil
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes plus more for serving
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
12 ounces bucatini or spaghetti
Finely grated Parmesan (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine tomatoes (crushing them with your hands), garlic, anchovies, butter, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a 13x9" baking dish; season with salt and black pepper. Roast, tossing halfway through, until garlic is very soft and mixture is jammy, 35-40 minutes. Using a potato masher or fork, mash to break up garlic and tomatoes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid.
  • Return pasta to pot and add tomato sauce and pasta cooking liquid. Cook over medium-high heat, tossing until sauce coats pasta, about 3 minutes. Serve topped with Parmesan and more red pepper flakes.
  • Do Ahead
  • Tomato sauce can be made 4 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat before mixing with pasta.
  • 3 More Ideas for Roasted Tomato Sauce:
  • You may never stir again once you've given this low-maintenance tomato sauce a try. Roasting coaxes depth from canned tomatoes, instilling a long-cooked flavor. A generous amount of garlic and anchovies adds even more character. Here are other ways to use the wonderful sauce beyond pasta:
  • Tomato Soup: Purée with vegetable or chicken stock and a splash of cream for a warming bowl.
  • Omelet: Fold a spoonful inside an omelet along with pieces of smoked mozzarella.
  • Pizza: It is tomato sauce, after all. Spread it on pizza dough and shower with Parmesan. Bake and top with more anchovies, parsley, and lemon zest.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I've made it with different types of tomatoes and even added some chopped vegetables to the sauce. It's always delicious!

This dish is always a hit with my family. The roasted tomatoes add a lovely sweetness to the sauce and the bucatini is always cooked perfectly.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really bland. I think I might have used the wrong kind of tomatoes.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover roasted tomatoes. The sauce is simple to make and the bucatini cooks in just a few minutes. I topped mine with some grated Parmesan cheese and it was perfect.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up with a sauce that was too thick and the bucatini was overcooked. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

This is my go-to recipe for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. It's always a crowd-pleaser and the leftovers are just as good the next day.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste and the bucatini was a bit too al dente. I might try it again with some adjustments.

This recipe was a total fail for me. The sauce was watery and bland, and the bucatini was overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be trying this recipe again.

So easy and delicious! I love that I can throw this together on a weeknight and it's still a hit with my family.

Not bad! The tomatoes were a bit tart for my taste, but I think that's just personal preference. I added a little bit of sugar to balance it out and it was perfect.

This bucatini with butter-roasted tomato sauce was an absolute delight! The roasted tomatoes added a wonderfully rich and flavorful depth to the sauce, while the butter gave it a lovely creaminess. The bucatini cooked perfectly and held onto the sauc
