Description
A simple yet meaningful pasta dish featuring sweet roasted tomatoes, perfect for a romantic dinner at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb garden tomatoes (roma tomatoes), cut into 2 inch pieces if large
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 10 oz linguine
- 1/3 cup butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Arrange the tomatoes on a large baking tray. Drizzle olive oil over them, evenly arrange the sliced garlic, and sprinkle with salt.
- Roast for about 35 to 40 minutes until the tomatoes are roasted and most of the pan juices have evaporated. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- While the tomatoes cook, boil the linguine in water according to package directions. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
- In a large, deep-sided skillet over medium heat, add the butter. Let the butter sizzle for about one minute.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir well. Cook until fragrant, about one more minute.
- Add the linguine and roasted tomatoes to the skillet. Stir well to coat everything in the butter mixture.
- Add the salt, pepper, and grated parmesan cheese. Stir thoroughly to coat completely.
- Serve immediately with fresh parsley and extra parmesan if you desire.
