Garlic Roasted Tomatoes

[BabushkaLady]

I'm missing my garden this year! This is about the time I would be inundated with cherry tomatoes . . .

I usually put the really ripe ones into a large casserole dish and add fresh chopped garlic, salt and pepper. Then I drizzle them with olive oil and bake at around 400 degrees just until they start to burst open.

You can then toss this with any pasta and add fresh basil.

I usually have so many tomatoes that I make this almost every other day. Sometimes I let the entire casserole dish meld flavors in the fridge overnight. Then I drain and reserve the oil for another use and freeze the tomatoes. It is great added to spaghetti sauce in the winter.

Sorry to hear you don't have tomato plants this year. Can you take advantage of a farmer's market?

Recipe sounds great, but it will be a while before my cherry tomatoes are ready. Have only eaten 3 so far that were ready!

Bummer to not have 'maters. I watched a neighbor's tomato garden go forgotten this summer... wanted so badly to climb the fence and pick them, but I held back. Didn't want to have to explain myself. I like Campari tomatoes... they're really nice. They work well on Margherita pizzas.
Here's a winner in my kitchen...
In a 9x13 pan, alternate sliced toms, zucchini and sliced fresh mozzarella... top with fresh basil, salt, pepper, garlic, olive oil... bake at 375 til cheese is bubbly-melty... soooooooo good on its own or atop your fave pasta!

Garlic roasted tomatoes, that sounds delicious!

I'm going to stop by the local farmer's market, pick some cherry tomatoes up and do this next time I make pasta!
