Baked Roma Tomato Pasta
« From the episode: Tons of Tasty Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 1 lb. fresh egg or spinach fettuccine (or mixture of both)
- 12 roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
- 6-10 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
- ½ cup chopped fresh basil
- ½ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon margarine or butter
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Spray or coat lightly a 9×13 baking dish with olive oil, and arrange the halved tomatoes in it, cut side up.
On top of the tomatoes, distribute evenly the garlic and half of the herbs (1/4 cup of each).
Sprinkle with salt and a generous grind of black pepper and top each tomato with a small dot of margarine or butter.
Bake for 60 minutes, uncovered, in a 400 degree oven. A few minutes before it’s done, cook the fresh pasta.
Pour the sauce over the pasta and add the remaining herbs and olive oil. Toss well, and top with fresh parmesan cheese.
