Hi!
This recipe is easy, and makes about 2 servings (each serving being about 2-3 cups). I modified this recipe, from here. This is for a smaller portions.
I know that 1/2 tBs is not a measurement, just eyeball it.
Ingredients:
3-4 cups of fresh cherry/currant tomatoes
1/2 tbs dried/fresh oregano
1/2 tbs dried/fresh basil
A large pinch of salt
A large pinch of ground black pepper
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
2 cloves minced garlic
3 tbs olive oil ----- and another 1 tbs for the pan
1/2 package of your favorite pasta-- or whatever pasta you have laying around
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
Grated Parmesan cheese
Basil
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 450
2) Wash tomatoes and remove stems
3) Cut tomatoes in half, and mince garlic
4) Add tomatoes and garlic into a bowl.
5) Add to that bowl the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, oregano, basil, pepper and salt
6) Spread the 1 tbs of olive oil on a pan (you can use a roasting pan or any kind of pan that has sides). Then add on the mixture
7) Put in oven for 8-10 minutes (longer if you want charred tomatoes)
8) While the tomatoes are cooking, start boiling a pot of water for your pasta (salt the water if you would like- I personally don't)
9) Start cooking pasta- cook for as long as you would like, or until al dente. ****RESERVE 1 TBS PASTA WATER!!!!!!*****
10) Lightly rinse off pasta- get the starch off, but keep the pasta warm.
11) By now, the tomatoes should be out of the oven. In a large bowl, add pasta water, tomatoes (and pan drippings!!!) and pasta. Mix until combined
12) Enjoy! Top with the suggested toppings if you would like
