ROASTED CHERRY TOMATO PASTA
Roasting enhances the flavors of any vegetable, but seems to add a wonderful, rich sweetness when done with cherry tomatoes. This recipe takes that sweetness, complements it with fresh herbs and a touch of heat from red pepper flakes, with some low-fat ricotta to smooth it all out. I topped it with some salty, nutty Pecorino cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine all tomatoes, garlic, chicken broth, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a large, glass baking dish; toss to coat.
- Roast in the middle of the preheated oven, stirring regularly, until tomatoes are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir in basil, parsley, and oregano.
- When the tomatoes have been roasting for about 35 minutes, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 7 minutes (cook for 2 minutes less than package directions.) Drain and return to the pot.
- Add the roasted tomatoes and herbs to the linguine and cook over medium-low heat for 2 minutes. Add ricotta cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
- Serve topped with Pecorino Romano cheese.

SPICY AND SAUCY CHERRY TOMATO PASTA
In this incredibly easy weeknight pasta, red-pepper flakes, capers and tomato paste turn a simple cherry tomato sauce into something hearty enough for cold weather. Sautéeing tomato paste until it caramelizes develops deep flavor, while pan-fried capers add crunch and red-pepper flakes provide heat. For smokier undertones, you can use dried ancho chile or chile de árbol, chipotle powder or Aleppo pepper in place of the red-pepper flakes. A dollop of ricotta, freshly grated pecorino or Parmesan, or shaved ricotta salata is not necessary, but takes the dish up a notch.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Pat the capers dry, then add them to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the capers to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add the tomato paste to the skillet and cook over medium-high, stirring frequently, until tomato paste darkens in color and deepens in flavor, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and reduce heat to medium. Cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high, stirring, 5 minutes. Add 2/3 cup pasta cooking water from the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to fall apart and the liquid becomes saucy, about 10 minutes.
- Drain the pasta, and transfer it to the skillet with the sauce to combine. (If your skillet is too full to accommodate the pasta, you can transfer the cooked pasta back to the pot, then add the sauce to combine.) Stir in half the basil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide among plates or bowls and top with capers and remaining basil, plus cheese and whole basil leaves. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your sauce. Look for tomatoes that are deep in color and have a firm texture.
- Roast your tomatoes before making the sauce. Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices. This will add depth and complexity to the flavor of your sauce. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Don't overcook the sauce. The tomatoes should be soft but still hold their shape. Overcooked tomatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta. Spaghetti, penne, and rigatoni are all good choices. You can also use the sauce on pizza or as a dipping sauce for breadsticks.
Conclusion:
Black cherry tomato pasta sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this sauce is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
