Easy Healthy Spicy Roasted Tomato and Herb Pasta Recipe





     Spicy Roasted Tomato and Herb Pasta
I crave this! It is really flavorful:)



Ingredients:
2 lbs. Plum Tomatoes-quartered
2 Lbs. Campari-halved
½ cup Olive oil-divided
4 cloves Garlic-minced
15 Basil Leaves-chopped
2 Tbsp. Oregano-chopped
2 Tbsp. Thyme
½-3/4 tsp. crushed Red Pepper flakes-depending on your level of heatJ
¾ tsp. Sea Salt
½ tsp. Ground Black Pepper
 1 lb. Angel Hair Pasta
 1-1 ½ cups Shredded Parmesan Cheese





Directions:
Place Tomatoes, cut side up, on 2 sheet pans.

In a medium bowl mix olive oil, garlic and spices-spoon over tomatoes.


Roast 400 for 45 minutes.
Let cool for 8 minutes.
Food mill

Pour about a little at a time in food mill and turn until all that is left is the skins-it gives you all the delicious flavors. 

I put in a large skillet over medium high heat and reduce for 10 minutes. Add 1 cup shredded cheese stir well and serve over pasta.
Cook pasta like directed on package-4 minutes.. Drain. Add 2 Tbsp. butter, salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese are nice toppings.
Serve with salad and Italian bread-enjoy!

Notes:
You could use only Plum tomatoes- I personally like the two kinds mixed the flavor is amazing.

*If you do not have fresh Herbs-use dried or 1 ½ Tbsp. Italian Seasonings-Fresh is always betterJ

Use a potato masher if you do not have a food mill-the mill gives you a richer sauce without the skins.
