PASTA WITH MASCARPONE AND ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES image

Categories     Pasta

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved (I used a 12 oz bag)
6 cloves garlic, peeled
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
extra virgin olive oil
1 lb pasta
1 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese
pinch red pepper flakes
2 oz (1 cup) finely grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Combine the tomatoes and garlic on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until slightly plumped. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and cool slightly, then remove the garlic cloves and mince them. While the tomatoes roast, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente (check the instructions on the package for time). Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking water. Transfer the pasta to a large bowl, add the mascarpone and stir until melted and combined. Add the reserved pasta water, little by little, until the sauce has thinned a bit (I only used about 1/2 cup of the water). Gently mix in the red pepper flakes, minced garlic, tomatoes, half of the Parmesan cheese, 3 tablespoons of the chives, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the pasta into the baking dish and top with the remaining Parmesan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling. Garnish with remaining chives before serving.

I'm not usually a fan of mascarpone cheese, but it worked really well in this dish. It added a richness and creaminess that I really enjoyed.

The roasted cherry tomatoes were the star of this dish. They were so sweet and flavorful, and they really complemented the creamy mascarpone sauce.

This pasta dish was absolutely delicious! The mascarpone and roasted cherry tomatoes created a creamy and flavorful sauce that perfectly coated the pasta. I also loved the addition of the fresh basil, which added a pop of color and freshness.
