Slow-Roasted Tomato Pasta

By on May 25, 2011 in Italian, Pasta, Vegetarian

I’m not gonna lie to you. I never got out of my robe today.

I knoooow, I knoooow. I have an excuse though! It rained all day.

What, not good enough? Let’s see, what about this: all my house work was done?

Um, okay. What about: I needed to slow-roast tomatoes today, and that required absolute pajama comfort?

No? What about: There is only 1 more Oprah episode left and it has me on the fast track to Cymbalta?

Oh! I had a top secret project that kept me strapped to my laptop and a mug of coffee?

Alright, I give up. But I will advise, take a day to never get out of your robe.

Slow-Roasted Tomato Pasta:

(recipe from Cooking Light)

What it took for 2:

* 1 1/2 pounds plumb tomatoes, halved lengthwise
* 1/4 extra-virgin olive oil, divided
* 4 whole peeled garlic cloves
* 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
* 1/2 pound fettucini
* fresh parmesan shavings for garnish
* fresh basil for garnish
* coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Preheat the oven the 225. Place the tomatoes, cut side up on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 Tbs. oil and sprinkle generously season with salt and pepper. Slow-roast for 4 hours.

In a medium skillet, heat the remaining 2 Tbs. oil over low. Add the garlic and cook 10 minutes, stirring once in a while. Take off heat and chop garlic.

Back in the pan, add the roasted tomatoes, garlic, and crushed red pepper.  Keep on low heat.

Cook the fettucini until it reaches al dente. Save 3/4 cup of the pasta water and drain the rest. Crank up the heat to medium-high and add the pasta water to the skillet with the tomatoes. Cook 3 minutes.

Add the pasta to the pan and toss to combine.

Serve the delicious pasta with fresh cheese and basil! Kick your feet up.

    Great post. I actually found my way here from a thread where someone mentioned Big Bad Dogs, and I ended up going down a rabbit hole — yours was one of the better pages I read along the way.

    Useful interviews separate a polished summary from the underlying work. For each major resume claim, interviewers can ask what problem existed, which options were considered, what the candidate personally owned, and how the outcome was assessed. That sequence produces a more consistent basis for comparison than broad questions about strengths or teamwork. A resume claim checker can support the preparation stage by turning claims into focused prompts and evidence requests. It should guide curiosity, not replace judgment: unusual career paths and outcomes often need context before they can be fairly evaluated.

    Unicode whitespace is not a single thing. A character that appears to create a gap in one editor may be trimmed, merged, or displayed differently somewhere else. For that reason, copying should be followed by a quick paste-and-check step in the actual destination. space copy utilities are valuable when they provide a clear way to choose the string length and confirm what was produced. This keeps formatting experiments deliberate and reduces surprises in public text, labels, and structured fields.

    Consistency matters when choosing decorative text for a public profile or message. letras cursivas can give a name, caption, or short callout a distinct visual tone without requiring a complex design tool. It is worth checking how the chosen characters look at small sizes and in different apps, since overly ornate text can be harder to read. Using one style for a clear purpose, such as a bio heading or a brief signature, keeps the result intentional and accessible.
