A delightful and comforting pasta dish featuring roasted tomatoes, garlic, and creamy ricotta, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
  • 5-6 whole garlic cloves (unpeeled)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • Pasta (spaghetti, penne, or your preferred type)
  • Fresh basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Combine the halved cherry tomatoes and unpeeled garlic cloves in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. Spread the tomatoes and garlic on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until the tomatoes are blistered and the garlic is golden.
  4. Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook your pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
  5. Squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skins into a bowl and mix in the ricotta cheese until well combined, adding reserved pasta water if needed.
  6. Add the drained pasta to the bowl with the ricotta sauce and roasted tomatoes. Toss until well coated.
  7. Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the pasta, tossing gently to combine.
  8. Plate your pasta and enjoy your comforting meal!

Notes

Serve warm, topped with fresh basil or parmesan cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
