Yield 2 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
4 to 5 roma (plum) tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 garlic bulb, unpeeled
1 cup uncooked mostaccioli or penne pasta (3 ounces)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
2 ounces crumbled feta or cubed mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 300ºF. Place aluminum foil on cookie sheet; generously brush with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Arrange tomato halves, cut sides up, in single layer on foil; brush with 2 teaspoons of the oil. Sprinkile with sugar, salt and pepper. 2. Cut 1/2 inch off top of garlic bulb; drizzle 1 teaspoon of the oil over garlic bulb. Wrap in aluminum foil; place on cookie sheet with tomatoes. Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until garlic is soft when pierced with a knife and tomatoes have begun to shrivel; cool slightly. 3. Cook and drain pasta as directed on package. 4. Squeeze garlic into remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and mash until smooth; toss with pasta. Add tomato halves and basil; toss. Top with cheese. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes add a burst of flavor to this dish, so be sure to use the best ones you can find. Look for tomatoes that are firm and have a deep red color.
  • Roast the garlic: Roasting garlic mellows its flavor and makes it irresistibly sweet and creamy. To roast garlic, simply cut off the top of the head, drizzle it with olive oil, and roast it in a 400°F oven for about 45 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The type of cheese you use will also impact the flavor of this dish. I recommend using a sharp cheddar cheese, but you could also use Parmesan, Asiago, or Gruyère.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Mostaccioli should be cooked al dente, meaning it should still have a slight bite to it. If you overcook the pasta, it will become mushy and bland.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh out of the oven. The pasta will start to lose its texture and flavor if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Roasted Garlic and Tomato Mostaccioli is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor from the roasted garlic, tomatoes, and cheese. The pasta is cooked al dente and tossed in a creamy sauce, making it a satisfying and comforting dish. Serve it with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
