How to make slow-roasted cherry tomato oil pasta
This recipe cannot be any simpler than this. You essentially need 2 ingredients. The cherry tomato oil and pasta! You mix those two and voila, you have yourself a simple yet delicious dinner!
- First thing first, make your slow-roasted cherry tomatoes in olive oil. My last post is all about how to use up cherry tomatoes in a tasty way. You pretty much bake/slow roast the cherry tomatoes, garlic cloves, olive oil, and a little bit of salt until the skin of cherry tomatoes blister. You are then left with this gorgeous olive oil that's infused with cherry tomato and garlic.
- Cook your pasta. You can use any pasta you want! I had some Gemelli pasta (looks very similar to rotini pasta) and that's what I used but spaghetti, angel hair, bow tie, and all different types of pasta will work just fine!
- Mix and season your pasta! The ratio I use is about 1 cup of cooked pasta per ¼ cup of slow-roasted cherry tomato oil. Since the tomato oil is not really seasoned, you will have to add salt and pepper. That's precisely what I did to my dish. Just added salt and pepper. But you can add a dollop of pesto or sprinkle some parmesan cheese will also make the dish super delicious!
This is just a simple basic recipe that can be made with very few ingredients but packed with flavors. Please feel free to customize this dish by adding other ingredients such as herbs, seasoning, and your favorite protein sources!
