Roasted tomatoes & basil pasta is full of health and deliciousness. That one pot meal you will enjoy anytime!
I am a huge fan of one pot meals, O is a huge fan of pasta, N is a huge fan of anything with veggies. Result of that is that pasta makes a regular appearance in our house, I make a lot of kind of pastas but this roasted tomatoes & basil pasta is the favorite of everyone at home.
This roasted tomatoes & basil pasta is so basic yet so delicious that its almost unbelievable. Roast some tomatoes with garlic, basil, olive oil. I usually chop my tomatoes in fours, add olive oil, chopped garlic, tear some fresh basil leaves. Add some sea salt and black pepper.
Grill it in the oven at about 200C for about 30-40 mins till the tomatoes are nice and soft.
Use a hand whisk to slightly mash it.
Now saute some veggies and chicken if you want, in olive oil, add to the above sauce, let it simmer for 2-3 minutes and add to the boiled pasta and bingo its ready.
This one is an extremely simple recipe. And it is so healthy too. The family loves it and so do I. On days when I don’t want to cook anything elaborate and yet want something really awesome looking on the plate, this is my go-to dish. I love such simple dishes. They don’t require too much prep and they don’t need too many vessels or processes. Simple, easy and delicious!
I guess, I am a big pasta and salad fan. Like this pasta made in the pressure cooker. I love the simplicity of the dish and the fact that it is a one pot meal. Add a salad in the side and you have some amazing dinner or lunch on the table 🙂
So the next time you are craving for some pasta, just try this simple one and you will be super satisfied!
