tomatoes

[Guest guest]

This is my favourite time of year. I love my tomatoes but I really love roasted

tomatoes. I bought a small basket of Romas (about 24) and for lunch I cut them

in half and put them into a large roasting pan.

 

I mixed the following

 

1/3 cup of oil (could be less)

1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar

2 tsp Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp sugar

 

 

and poured it over the tomatoes. I stirred the tomatoes to make sure they were

all coated with the dressing and then turned them all skin side up in a single

layer. I sprinkled chopped fresh basil over them.

 

I wrapped a head of garlic in foil and placed that in the pan with the tomatoes.

 

I roasted them at 425 for about 45 minutes until the skin was brown and

wrinkly. I set them aside while I cooked up some pasta - rotini or bow ties

work well. I didn't measure it but enough for 4 servings as a main course.

 

when the pasta was cooked, I squeezed the roasted garlic over it and mixed it

very well so that the pasta was coated with the garlic. I then added the pasta

to the roasting pan and mixed everything well. I loosened up any bits that were

adhered to the bottom of the pan.

 

We had it hot for lunch but it is also good cold or at least I think it's great

cold. My husband often sprinkles parmesan cheese on his but today he decided

that it didn't need it. Salt and pepper can be added to taste

 

My kind of yummy
