Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes and Capers image

The roasted cherry tomatoes break down just enough to coat the pasta. The oregano provides needed herb flavor.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds cherry tomatoes
3 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, plus more for serving, or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 pound short pasta, such as orecchiette
Salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss tomatoes, capers, and oregano with oil and season with salt. Roast until tomatoes burst and begin to brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  • Return pasta and 1/4 cup pasta water to pot and add tomato mixture. Cook over high until sauce is slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. If necessary, add remaining pasta water to create a light sauce that coats pasta. Serve sprinkled with oregano.

I'm not a huge fan of capers, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious without them.

I roasted the tomatoes for a little longer than the recipe called for, and they were even more flavorful. Yum!

I used cherry tomatoes instead of Roma tomatoes, and they worked great. The dish was easy to make and very tasty.
