Spaghetti with Spicy Roasted Grape Tomatoes, Shallots, and Garlic

This is my new go-to pasta. Roasted grape tomatoes, shallots, and garlic tossed with spaghetti topped with freshly cracked black pepper and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Simple. Easy. Delicious. The tomatoes, shallots, and garlic slivers sweeten while they roast while the crushed red pepper flakes give them a nice kick. I seriously can’t wait to make and eat this pasta again.

How to Make Spaghetti with Spicy Roasted Grape Tomatoes, Shallots, and Garlic

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Place the tomatoes, sliced shallot, and garlic slivers together in a cast iron skillet or baking dish. Season with olive oil then season with crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Toss to coat evenly.

Place the cast iron skillet into the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, gently tossing with a spatula halfway through roasting.

While the tomatoes are roasting, cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water, per instructions. Drain the pasta making sure to keep 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water.

Remove the tomatoes from the oven. Add the drained spaghetti to the tomatoes and a bit of the pasta water; toss to coat evenly. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Serve topped with fresh basil and freshly grated Parmesan. Enjoy.
