2garlic clovesminced
1teaspoonmaple syrup
salt and pepper to season
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C and prepare a baking tray by lining it with some parchment paper.
Wash and dry the tomatoes and prick them with a sharp knife. If you are in a hurry cut your tomatoes in halves, it will reduce the roasting time.
Mix olive oil, melted butter, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, maple syrup, basil leaves and a pinch of salt.
Toss tomatoes in the mixture.
Transfer them to a baking tray and bake for 30 minutes. Check occasionally to make sure they aren't burning.
Meanwhile, cook your pasta according to the cooking instructions. Reserve ½ a cup of water before draining the pasta.
When the tomatoes are roasted nicely, take the tray out and add cooked pasta to the tray and mix well. Add a little bit of the reserved water if the pasta is dry. Do not add too much, you don't want to dilute the flavour.
Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle fresh Parmesan on top and enjoy!
Notes
Reserve some pasta cooking water before draining the pasta. It is a great addition to the sauce if you need some more liquid.
Use a large Dutch oven or a baking dish instead of a baking tray.
