Doesn't get easier...Roasted Tomato and Basil Pasta

If you still have the saladette tomatoes, here is a very quick, easy pasta dish to try.  The only other ingredients are pasta, basil and olive oil.  This also works well with any other tomatoes you have, just cut them up into smaller pieces if they are large.

Roasted Tomato and Basil Pasta

1 pint saladette tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 Tbs olive oil, plus a little extra to sprinkle on tomatoes
6-8 ounces pasta of choice
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
salt, peper

Place tomatoes (cut side up) on a baking

sheet lined with parchment paper.  Drizzle with a little olive oil (or spray with olive oil).  Sprinkle on salt and pepper, if desired.  Roast in oven at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes until tomatoes begin to brown and shrivel slightly.  While tomatoes roast, heat water and cook 1/2 package pasta of choice according to package directions.  When tomatoes and pasta are done, drain pasta and toss with tomatoes, basil and 1 tbs olive oil.  Serves 2.
