Ingredients

  • 600 g baby tomatoes
  • 2 shallots remove the skin and slice in half
  • 1 garlic bulb slice the top of the bulb off to reveal the cloves
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes
  • ½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 15 g basil finely sliced
  • 10 g parmesan grated (for serving)
  • 200 g spaghetti

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C fan / 428F.
  • In an oven-proof tray add in baby tomatoes, shallots, and garlic bulb. Drizzle with olive oil, ground black pepper, salt, and dried oregano. Give everything a toss, then place in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • 10 minutes before the tomatoes have finished cooking, get your pasta on and cook according to packet instructions in salted boiling water. Don't forget to save the pasta water.
  • Remove the tray from the oven and transfer 80% of the tomatoes (I like to set aside a few whole roasted baby tomatoes for texture but feel free to blend everything if you fancy) and all of the shallots into a food processor. Squeeze out the garlic cloves from the bulb into the processor. Blend until smooth.
  • Transfer the blended roasted tomato pasta sauce into a skillet and add in chili flakes, balsamic vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  • Add in your cooked pasta, the rest of your whole roasted baby tomatoes, and sliced basil with 50ml pasta water. Toss to combine on low heat.
  • Taste and season according to your preferences. Once ready, divide between your bowls and top with grated parmesan. Enjoy!
