If you have ever roasted juicy vine tomatoes in the oven until they’re nice and sweet, you’re probably hooked on them like me. I love the simplicity of this recipe. All you need is good quality, ripe and juicy tomatoes, a little fruity olive oil, garlic, lemon and herbs and you have yourself one of the most delicious pasta toppings. You can also have them on top of some crunchy toasted bread as an appetizer or with a side of dressed greens, as a sophisticated lunch – nobody needs to know how easy it was to make it, right?!

I’ve made this recipe a few times already and both me and bae love it! He says, the tomatoes taste like candy. Ha! They kind of do. So good! After the tomatoes come out of the oven, I add the cooked pasta to the sheet pan, queeze the roasted garlic out of it’s peel, add lemon, herbs, olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss it gently. You will need a bit of the pasta water too to loosen up the pasta and help to create a sauce. So never toss all of the pasta water! It’s like the liquid gold for pasta dishes.

And that’s basically it! Small list of ingredients {you’ll most likely have most of them in your pantry already}, no fuss clean-up and a super comforting and delcious dinner. You can also do this with other roasted vegetables, like zucchini, eggplant or pumpkin, but please give the tomatoes a try, I promise you’ll love them!
