Pan Roasted Tomatoes and Garlic Pasta

Pan Roasted Tomatoes and Garlic Pasta

This pasta dish is a great anytime but especially on a busy weeknight. We love pasta dishes in all shapes and sizes. What I appreciate about this dish in particular is it is not heavily drenched in sauce. There is a time a place for everything, but when I want a light pasta dish, this is what I like to make at home.


Simply cherry tomatoes, shallots, garlic, olive oil and some herbs combined with your favorite pasta. Oh, and don’t forget the parmesan cheese on top at the end! I love making this in the summertime, when the cherry tomatoes are in their peak season!

The cherry tomatoes pop with fresh flavor! The shallots caramelize while they are cooking! Every ingredient gets to show off in this dish! This recipe is light but super flavorful.

We always include a some crusty butter and garlic french bread to serve on the side! Just one piece, maybe two!
