Lemon Pasta


Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl combine

  • 250g cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • A couple of glugs of olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves smushed and sliced
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper

Spread out in glass baking dish leaving lots of air between tomatoes. Then into the oven at

350 for 40 minutes.

While the tomatoes are baking, make a lemon oil dressing by whisking together

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (one lemon)
  • salt & pepper to taste

and put aside. Then make either a two egg batch of fresh pasta, or a half box of gluten-free linguine. Drain pasta and put aside.

When the cherry tomatoes are done (and the glass has cooled a bit) add the pasta to the baking dish followed by the lemon dressing and toss to coat everything. Stir in

  • zest of one lemon
  • 3/4 cup parmesan

& mix lightly.
