Make a quick fresh tomato sauce for this meatless pasta recipe by roasting cherry tomatoes and adding basil, parsley and goat cheese to the dish. Ingredients:
4 quarts water |
2 teaspoons kosher salt |
8 ounces uncooked spaghetti |
2 2/3 cups cherry tomatoes |
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided |
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar |
3/8 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
2 1/2 tablespoons chopped or torn fresh basil leaves |
2 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled semisoft goat cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large Dutch oven. Add 1 tablespoon salt and spaghetti to boiling water; cook 10 minutes or until spaghetti is al dente. Drain spaghetti in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1/3 cup cooking water. Return spaghetti to pan; set aside, and keep warm.
3. While spaghetti cooks, combine tomatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, vinegar, 3/8 teaspoon salt, and pepper on a jelly-roll pan, tossing well to coat. Bake tomato mixture at 450° for 10 minutes or until tomatoes are soft and lightly charred in places.
4. Add tomatoes and any tomato juice to spaghetti in Dutch oven. Add 3 tablespoons reserved cooking water to jelly-roll pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits; carefully pour water mixture and remaining 1 tablespoon oil into spaghetti mixture. Place Dutch oven over medium heat. Add remaining reserved cooking water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until spaghetti mixture is moist, tossing frequently. Stir in basil and parsley. Sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.
