Ingredients
- 1 box of pasta, cooked
- Grape tomatoes (cherry would work, too)
- Olive oil, enough to coat tomatoes
- Basil, about 10 leaves chopped
- Oregano, leaves from two stems chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, bring a large pot of water to a boil to cook your pasta per the directions from the pasta. While it’s cooking prepare the tomatoes for the oven. Slice the tomatoes into halves. Place these halves into your large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, basil, oregano, salt and pepper and stir to combine ingredients. Pour the mixture out onto a baking sheet in a single layer (or as close to it as you can get) and roast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the tomatoes start to shrivel and the juices come out of them. Then drain the pasta, plate it and serve with the tomatoes on top. Garnish with a basil leaf to make it look pretty.
