roasted toms in pasta?!---all day long everyday of the week!!! I would have to add a dollop of ricotta and home made pesto. YESSSSSSSS......

I love roasted tomatoes too, and have baked them at wildly varying temps, depending.

With the pasta dish you mentioned, @Knit-Chick, try adding some slivered fennel to that garlic you're sauteing, just for something different. 

You can always deglaze the pan with a bit of wine or broth, and even add heavy cream once in awhile!

Or brown up some crumbled sweet Italian sausage, add it & dust the whole thing w/ ground fennel seeds, or fennel pollen if you're rich! 

I'm a fan of fennel.

That sounds like my Pasta Pomodoro!  Pan roasted instead of oven roasted.  Yummy.  I use basil.

For anyone with extra cherry or roma tomatoes, this is an easy dinner we're having tonight.  Cut in half, drizzle olive oil and a little salt and pepper.  Roast at 250 degrees until they have shriveled up and are nice and sweet. I saute garlic in olive oil, add the roasted tomatoes and angel hair pasta.  Tonight I'll serve with feta but most often it's parmesan.  

I'm roasting extra to put in an omlet tomorrow.

Sounds delicious!  Very similar to the Tik Tok pasta recipe.

@Knit-Chick  I have been making this all summer, my version is easier. Put tomatoes, fresh garlic and fresh basil in a 8x8 pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast at 400 until tomatoes are charred, about 25 mins.  Remove basil. Take a potato masher and mash everything together. Transfer to a pan with cooked pasta. If this is too dry add pasta water. This is such a light pasta meal my family asks for it every week.

Is there such a thing as cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, etc. that DON'T have tough skins?

I just have to share after seeing this post about cherry tomatoes.  I drizzle olive oil, add salt, pepper, garlic powder,  a touch of balsamic vinegar,  basil, and oregano.   I roast them on a lined cookie sheet, 400°, till they split open.   After they're cooled, I slice fresh mozzarella,  and add more seasoning, or balsamic if wanted. Place the mozzarella on top of the tomatoes.  Italian bread is a must for dipping 😀.   We love it so much, I also made the tomatoes over penne pasta, with fresh spinach, I cook separately with fresh garlic and oil...then I made fresh shrimp cooked in a butter, wine,  garlic and oil.  Added it all together...was a great dish complete with protein and veggies. 

Now, I have to go get more tomatoes...mmmmm.
