Tossed with oil and spices, cherry tomatoes are roasted until tender. The tomatoes burst and the juices create the most fresh and delicious sauce. You’ll be making this on repeat.
Ingredients For Cherry Tomato Pasta
Tomatoes: This is the perfect way to use up that bounty of garden cherry or grape tomatoes. You can use any variety of small tomatoes. Oil and Vinegar: These ingredients add flavor and help the tomatoes to caramelize in the oven. Use extra virgin olive oil if possible. Herbs: I use dried herbs, including basil and oregano, as they pair perfectly with roasted tomatoes. If using fresh herbs, add them to the pasta instead of roasting with the tomatoes. Garlic: I love lots of fresh garlic in this recipe. You can use garlic powder in a pinch, but fresh is best if possible. Pasta: Any kind of long pasta will work well in this recipe. Try linguine, fettuccine, or even spaghetti noodles.
Variations
Add protein: Make it a main dish and top this cherry tomato pasta with oven-roasted chicken, salmon, Italian sausage, or garlic butter shrimp. Add more veggies: Add zucchini, asparagus, or bell peppers to the mix. Add a flavor boost: Add a swirl of basil pesto or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
