Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce with Spaghetti

Recipe Description

My Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce with Spaghetti recipe is a perfect way to use up the glut of tomatoes which comes at the end of every summer! We grow a variety of tomatoes each year in our garden and by far my favorites are the sweet little cherry tomatoes. I am always on the lookout for nice simple recipes which showcase the tomatoes themselves. This is one of those recipes! 

To make this rich flavorsome sauce, start by roasting the tomatoes in a hot oven with some olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Add these to cooked spaghetti and stir in some basil and parsley. Sprinkle with goat cheese and there you have it – a simply delicious Mediterranean style dinner in just half an hour! 

To make Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce with Spaghetti, you will need the following ingredients:
