Hands down the best pasta ever made in the Grant house.
Hey yall! I bet you’re thinking “Yea right, the BEST pasta you’ve ever made?” And I have to tell you – YES. Absolutely. 100 percent the best pasta I’ve ever made. And I know that yall know I love me some pasta so saying that this is hands down the best one, EVER, is something big.
Just thinking about it makes me want to slice up some tomatoes, roast them in the oven and make this whole pasta all over again. RIGHT NOW.
And the funny thing is that this pasta started off as a question. About tomatoes. I had bought a a fairly large tub of tomatoes for salads from the grocery store a week or so ago. My ob doctor told me that I needed more iron and suggested salads with leafy greens as a way to bump it up. So I loaded up the fridge with salad ingredients for the week.
After 3 or 4 salads though, I was getting a little overwhelmed with said leafy greens. And my tub-o-tomatoes was neglected on the counter for a few days. And I thought “what the heck can I make with these tomatoes before they go bad?”
I’ve roasted tomatoes before so I decided to toss these ones in some rosemary salt and toss them in the oven one morning. I let them roast in the oven for a few hours and the smell was amazing. When they were almost done I boiled some pasta and whipped up the EASIEST Alfredo sauce too. It all came together perfectly. I tossed the Alfredo sauce, tomatoes and pasta together and immediately devoured 2 plates.
Not only was it absolutely, hands down the best pasta I have ever had (to date) but I also was able to solve my tomato dilemma.

Just saw a great kitchen hack that would be helpful for this recipe. Put your cherry tomatoes on a dinner plate turned upside down. Put another plate on top of the tomatoes. The bottoms of the plates will sandwich the tomatoes and make it easy to cut them all in half. Also works for grapes.

I’ve seen that before! Have you tried it? I haven’t yet.
