Calories 491kcal
Ingredients
- 500 gm cherry tomatoes
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 3 tbsp olive oil See Note 1
- 10 fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp sugar
- salt and pepper to taste See Note 2
- 400 g spaghetti See Note 3
- Parmesan and basil leaves (to garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180 Degrees C (350 F).
-
Wash the tomatoes and thoroughly dry them. Cut them in half.
-
Toss the tomatoes lightly with olive oil in a non-reactive pan. – see Note 4.
-
Spread them out into one layer and sprinkle with the minced garlic, half the basil leaves, dried oregano, sugar, salt and pepper. Roast for 30-40 minutes, until the tomatoes are collapsing and slightly charred.
-
If not serving immediately, cool the tomatoes, place them into an airtight container and refrigerate. Add the remaining basil leaves when ready to serve.
-
If serving immediately, put a pot of water on to boil. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add some salt to the water, and add your pasta.
Cook the pasta until it is al dente. (Reserve a little of the pasta water.)
-
Add the pasta to the dish you cooked the tomatoes in, and toss well. Add some pasta water if the dish requires a little extra liquid.
-
Serve with some Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
Notes
- For the best flavour, I recommend using Extra Virgin Olive Oil. In Australia, the tablespoon is 20ml. In many other countries, the tablespoon is 15ml, so please adjust your measurements accordingly.
- We recommend sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- We have used spaghetti, however, use your favourite pasta – it will be delicious with any type!
- A reactive pan may be made from copper, aluminum or cast iron, and react with acidic foods, such as tomatoes. We recommend using a non-reactive pan, such as ceramic, stainless steel, glass or enamel.
- Please note, the nutritional information is based on four main course portions.
