(Adapted from a recipe in Diane Rossen Worthington’s Seriously Simple)
Serves 2 – 3 (double to serve 4 – 6)
1 pound grape tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 oz. penne
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
Preheat the oven to 400˚.
Cut the tomatoes in half and put in a baking dish.
Combine the garlic, bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and stir.
Spoon the bread crumb mixture over the tomatoes and drizzle the olive oil over everything.
Roast for 30 – 35 minutes.
About 10 minutes before the tomatoes are done, cook the penne in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain and add the pasta and basil to the tomatoes in the baking dish. Stir and serve.
