Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Cut off the top of the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Place the garlic on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and wrap it tightly in the foil. Roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are soft and caramelized. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
-
While the garlic is roasting, halve the cherry tomatoes and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and slightly charred.
-
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.
-
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a large skillet. Add a splash of olive oil and gently mash the garlic with a fork.
-
Add the roasted cherry tomatoes to the skillet with the roasted garlic. Mix well and cook for a few minutes to meld the flavors together.
-
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
-
Serve the Roasted Garlic and Tomato Pasta hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
