Ingredients
For the roasted tomatoes
- 500 g (1lb) cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
For the pasta
- 500 g (1lb) linguini (use any pasta shape of your choice)
- 250 g (1 cup) ricotta (I used creamed ricotta but you can use any ricotta you can find)
- ½ cup basil pesto
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 220°C/430ºF.
- Place the tomatoes on a sheet pan and drizzle the cherry tomatoes with the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper.
- Place in the oven and allow to roast for 30-45 minutes or until the tomatoes are blistered and have release their juices.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted, boiling water until al dente.
- Drain the pasta but reserve 2 cups of cooking water.
- When the tomatoes are cooked, carefully remove the stems (if using vine tomatoes) then toss with the pasta along with all of their cooking juices, the ricotta, basil pesto and a few tablespoons of pasta cooking water. Toss and add more water until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
- Serve with fresh basil leaves and more ricotta.
