- 2 cloves fresh garlic, peeled and smashed
- 8 ounces linguine or other long pasta
- ¼ cup shredded or torn fresh basil leaves

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 F. Spread tomatoes and smashed garlic onto a baking sheet in a single, even layer. Add the oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Bake for 2 hours.
- When the tomatoes are almost done, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and immediately toss in the warm roasted tomatoes until every noodle is coated in the tomato oil.
- Top the dish with toasted pine nuts, basil, cracked black pepper, an extra drizzle of olive oil, and optional (but so recommended) grated parmesan cheese.
Notes
You can make the roasted tomatoes a day or so ahead of time. Simply roast them as instructed above. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. When ready to enjoy, heat the tomatoes in a skillet. Once warm, add in hot pasta and follow the rest of the instructions to finish the dish.
