Pasta With Roasted Garlic and Cherry Tomatoes

"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."

  1. great recipe and good cold for leftovers too. Have also added a can of tuna or salmon. I always add lots of veges but the garlic and baby tomatoes are a must! have made with, mushrooms, zuchiini,peppers, white onions, cauliflower, brocoli etc!
     
  2. From a healthy and light perspective, this was delicious! I had to add some sauteed garlic shrimp to this or my husband wouldn't eat it since he won't eat pasta without some sort of chicken, meat or fish in it. The shrimp complemented this beautifully. I LOVE pasta dishes that use fresh tomatoes. This roasting process was very nice. I used all campari tomatoes that I quartered and it worked perfectly. I also increased the amount of garlic. UPDATE: I made this again tonight...in the metal pan. Not sure if I've changed or whether the metal pan changed things but this was FABULOUS! I doubled the garlic (yes, doubled!) and used Romano cheese to top this off (which I think it definitely needs) but my kids and I adored this tonight! Can't wait for leftovers tomorrow!
     
  3. This makes a ton! It is good, but there is something missing in it. As soon as I figure it out I will post. 12 cloves of garlic certainly aren't too many, I used two full heads (my family is slightly addicted to garlic). A good and filling comfort meal.
     
  4. I made this dish for Father's Day. It was wonderful! Not only was it simple to make, it was just very tasty. It was the big hit of my Father's day dinner.
     
  5. I put this over zucchini noodles and it was amazing! I will be making this again and again. Thanks!

  1. I make this often but leave out the black pepper and parsley (I hardly ever have fresh parsley). I didn't think there was enough olive oil for the pasta, so I've been using less pasta, but I typically use fewer cherry tomatoes than required, so that might be why I don't have enough "sauce." It's an easy, healthy meal that everyone seems to like! I've used chopped tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes with good results as well.
     
  2. This was wonderful. Instead of red pepper flakes I used cayenne pepper (a drop less than it called for), and I really liked the little kick. Next time, I would cut the garlic smaller than 1/2-cloves, but otherwise this recipe is excellent.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Ontario and work full time as a consultant in IT for a communication company in another province. I create test cases and scripts and initiate the testing for the software changes that the programmers make to the company’s various programs. I have the pleasure of working from my home and dialling into their network. I also sell Avon for fun. I met my husband (Paul) on a blind date. We dated 3 years and have been married for 25 years. We have two children a son(age 20) and a DD(age 17). We have been blessed with the best two kids anyone could ask for. DH is a commerical airline pilot and currently is a "Check Pilot" on the A320. He is away quite a bit, so when he comes home I try to make sure he has a decent meal. He eats out when on the road so he really enjoys a good home cooked meal when he arrives home, while the rest of us want to go and eat out. I love to spend time in my garden, travel and try new recipes. DH and I love to travel or just spend time at a cottage in the summer. I have not been on a cruise but hope to within the next 2 years (maybe for our 25th wedding anniversary.) We pretty much eat anything. DH especially loves seafood (more than I do.) while I prefer to eat chicken. We are so predicable when ordering our meal at a restaurant. Next, I think it would have to be Italian and then something spicy like Thai or Indian. My family loves Indian food but I have never had the courage to make it. Maybe I will someday. I like to read true stories and criminal books. David Baldacci is one of my favourite authors. My favorite restaurant is "Bin 23", "Einsteins Cafe," "Abberfolye Mill" My brother sent me the link to Recipezaar and now I am hooked trying new recipes every day. I don't think I will buy another cook book. <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Stockingswapcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/37305/candyswap.jpg"> <img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj240/marienixon_715/kittencaljpg.jpg"> <a href="http://www.amazingcounter.com"><img border="0" src="http://cb.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=2232760&c=6698593" alt="frontpage widget"></a><a href="http://www.4computercoupons.com">Buy Laptop</a> <a href="http://www.4computercoupons.com/dell-coupons.html">Computer</a>
