PASTA WITH ROASTED GARLIC AND CHERRY TOMATOES



Pasta With Roasted Garlic and Cherry Tomatoes image

Prep time approx. 40 min (I found this in the May 2003 Canadian Living Magazine) This is a quick and easy recipe. Garlic becomes mellow when roasted,(so don't let 12 cloves scare you away) and roasting the tomatoes brings out the rich flavor. The two compliment each other. Using cherry tomatoes saves time so if you use other kinds of tomatoes it may take longer. I have two kids age 11 and 14 who love this recipe and always have more than one helping.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 lbs cherry tomatoes
1 onion, finely diced
salt, to taste
2 cups dry pasta (I use fusilli)
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, very finely grated
10 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet, over a medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes, onion and salt. Stir frequently. This mixture will need to cook for about 25 minutes until the sauce has developed.
  • When the tomatoes soften and the skins start to burst, press on them to release the juices inside. Once the majority of the skins have burst, it does not need stirring more than once every 5 minutes.
  • Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package, so it will be ready in time for the sauce.
  • After about 25 minutes, the tomatoes should all have split and the juices should have created a sauce. Stir in the mascarpone cheese until melted and blended in.
  • If desired, use a blender or hand-blender to puree the sauce, otherwise it can be left chunky.
  • Add the parmesan cheese and basil leaves to the sauce, stir and serve on top of the pasta or mixed together with the pasta.

PASTA WITH MASCARPONE AND ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES



PASTA WITH MASCARPONE AND ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES image

Categories     Pasta

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved (I used a 12 oz bag)
6 cloves garlic, peeled
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
extra virgin olive oil
1 lb pasta
1 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese
pinch red pepper flakes
2 oz (1 cup) finely grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Combine the tomatoes and garlic on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until slightly plumped. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and cool slightly, then remove the garlic cloves and mince them. While the tomatoes roast, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente (check the instructions on the package for time). Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking water. Transfer the pasta to a large bowl, add the mascarpone and stir until melted and combined. Add the reserved pasta water, little by little, until the sauce has thinned a bit (I only used about 1/2 cup of the water). Gently mix in the red pepper flakes, minced garlic, tomatoes, half of the Parmesan cheese, 3 tablespoons of the chives, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the pasta into the baking dish and top with the remaining Parmesan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling. Garnish with remaining chives before serving.

PENNE WITH ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES



Penne With Roasted Cherry Tomatoes image

This exquisitely simple recipe came to The Times in a 2001 article about Paola di Mauro, an Italian winemaker in Marina, a small town southeast of Rome. She was one of a band of cooks who helped distinguish "cucina casalinga," roughly translated as "housewives' cooking." From her humble kitchen, Ms. di Mauro mentored some of the best Italian chefs and restaurateurs in the United States, including Mario Batali, Lidia Bastianich, Piero Selvaggio and Tony May. Her recipe is easy and calls for just five ingredients - cherry tomatoes, olive oil, pecorino romano and penne pasta - but get your hands on the best ingredients you can afford. Ms. di Mauro intended this to serve four as a first course, but if you're making this for dinner, double the recipe.

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound small cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus 2 to 3 tablespoons for tossing
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup freshly grated pecorino romano, more for serving
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 pound penne

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line bottom of casserole dish with cherry tomatoes in a single layer, halved side up. Pour oil on top, season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle cheese and bread crumbs on top. Bake until tomatoes have wilted, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with enough sea salt so that water tastes mildly of salt. When tomatoes are just about done, add penne to water and cook until al dente (it should be pliable, but still firm in center). Scoop out about a cup of pasta water and reserve. Drain pasta and add to casserole. Fold tomatoes and pasta together, adding another 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil, to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning. If it is dry, add a little reserved pasta water. Serve, passing more grated cheese at the table.

ROASTED CHERRY TOMATO PASTA



Roasted Cherry Tomato Pasta image

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.

Provided by Scott Koeneman

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds red cherry tomatoes, halved
½ pound tomatoes, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup julienned fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
12 ounces whole wheat linguine
½ (16 ounce) container low-fat ricotta cheese
½ cup finely shredded Pecorino Romano 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.
