Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Slice each tomato into 8 wedges and discard the seeds. Put the tomato wedges and garlic into a 9 by 13-inch roasting pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and a few turns of pepper. Roast in the oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
- Drain the beans into a large colander in the sink. Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. Drain the pasta into the colander containing the beans, so the hot pasta water will warm the beans. Return drained pasta and beans to the pasta pot.

Pour the roasted tomatoes into the pasta pot, add the garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the basil and additional salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to combine.

PENNE WITH ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES
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.

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.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander and return it to the pot.
- Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes in half, scrape the seeds out of each half with a small tool or your finger, and cut into 1-inch pieces. Peel the garlic and leave the cloves whole. Coarsely chop the basil leaves.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and garlic, cover, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the garlic is soft. Remove the garlic from the pan and set aside. Put the beans in a strainer and rinse under running water. Drain the beans and add them to the pan, then remove the pan from the heat. Smash the garlic with a fork and add it to the drained pasta. Add the tomatoes and basil, stir well, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the pasta into a large serving bowl, sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.
- Basil is native to India, though it's since become integral to the cooking of countries as far a field as Italy and Thailand. When it migrated to Italy, it became a symbol of love, with young women wearing sprigs in their hair to encourage their suitors.
ROASTED TOMATO AND GARLIC PENNE
I love this simple dinner because it's fast and filling. It's also healthy and light. Vegetarian friendly as well. It's adapted from a Rachel Ray 30 minute meal that I saw on her show and made my own. This can be made tossed or as a casserole, your choice. This feeds my family of 4 with plenty of leftovers. Special note: when roasting the tomatoes and garlic, you can cut the top off of a garlic bunch and place it cut side up on same cookie sheet, sprinkle w/olive oil, salt and pepper and roast. Once roasted, use butter knife to dig out garlic (soft and sweet) and spread on crusty bread to compliment your pasta dish. This is of course, if you are a garlic lover!

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will ensure that your sauce is packed with flavor.
- Roast the tomatoes before adding them to the sauce. This will caramelize the sugars in the tomatoes and give them a smoky flavor.
- Use high-quality pancetta. Pancetta is a type of Italian bacon that is cured with salt, pepper, and spices. It has a rich, savory flavor that will add depth to your sauce.
- Cook the pancetta until it is crispy. This will help to release its flavor and make it a delicious addition to your pasta.
- Add a splash of white wine to the sauce. White wine will help to deglaze the pan and add a bright, acidic flavor to the sauce.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the pasta immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
Conclusion:
This roasted tomato and pancetta penne is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The roasted tomatoes are sweet and smoky, the pancetta is crispy and savory, and the white wine adds a bright, acidic flavor that ties everything together. This pasta dish is also very versatile. You can add other ingredients, such as sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini, to make it a more complete meal. You can also use different types of pasta, such as spaghetti or linguine. No matter how you choose to make it, this roasted tomato and pancetta penne is sure to be a hit!
