I can eat pasta morning, noon and night, I don’t but I could. And when you mix tomatoes and Parmesan cheese, I believe there is nothing better.

I have been known to have some pasta with my Parmesan Cheese. I just can’t get enough of that delicious amazing cheese. I love adding extra to this Lots of Fresh Basil Tomato Sauce and of course this Classic Carbonara.

The best thing about this Spaghetti with Oven Dried Parmesan Tomatoes dish is that you can dry out your tomatoes however much you want.

How to Roast Tomatoes:

You can roast the tomatoes a little bit and just brown the Parmesan cheese until golden which I did the first time, or

since the Italian does not  like mushy tomatoes or vegetables for that matter, the next time I dried them for almost 40 minutes, leaving just a little juice.

Not a word was mentioned so it was a success! Italians take their food seriously don’t you know? My daughters liked both of the dishes,  but decided that if they had to choose they preferred the extra drying.

With the extra drying there is more bite to the tomato, which tossed with your favourite long pasta makes the perfect Summer Pasta Dish.

How to make Bucatini with Roasted Tomatoes:

  • Slice the cherry or grape tomatoes in half, then place them sliced side up on a baking dish or an oven safe pan.
  • Sprinkle with salt, oregano and hot pepper flakes, drizzle with a little olive oil and then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in a hot oven for approximately 20-40 minutes (depending how dried you desire the tomatoes). Remove from the oven.
  • Cook your bucatini, spaghetti or even linguini al dente.
  • Using the same pan if you wish, add olive oil and saute on medium / high heat for approximately one minute. You could also add another sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese.
  • Add the cooked pasta and 1/2 ladle pasta water, toss gently continuously on medium high heat for another minute or until liquid has thickened, serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped basil.

  1. some of your recipes don’t translate to a British kitchen very well. Some of them are however outstanding such as your mushroom pate. Your bake dishes of vegetables are also very good. Could you put English measurements in to make it a bit easier. Your puddings are also outstanding and simple to make
    Our veg is behind yours in the garden.

    Thanks

    Sam

    Thanks for your beautifully organized site. I envy your living in Rome. A wonderful place to enjoy pasta. No place else compares. Enjoy and keep those delicious dishes coming. Elaine

    1. Hi Elaine, thank you very much, Rome is a very beautiful city and the pasta is amazing! Glad you enjoy my recipes.

    Now, this is Italian. I could eat pasta for every meal too. The dish looks simple but perfect. During this time of the year, I believe this pasta should be serve in the table. And I love the oven dried Parmesan tomatoes. Isn’t the flavor it gives is just amazing? I do agree that this pasta should also have additional Parmesan cheese. Bon appetit!

  6. Oh I really can’t believe this. We made something similar to this last night and it was delicious. It was pouring down rain and I was trying to get pictures on the front porch of our rental. I love your photos and I’m getting hungry just looking at them.

  7. Love any pasta recipe —– more so with tomatoes. Can’t wait for my plants to start producing, I have two “early girl” plants that have green tomatoes about the size of a ping-pong ball, but nothing yet on my cherry tomato plants, That’s pretty good for the good old Midwest!

    1. Hi Dian, nothing like fresh tomatoes from the garden! Looking forward to tasting mine too. Have a great day.

    I could easily eat pasta for every meal, too! I have to remind myself there are other things to eat 🙂 This looks so simple and delicious – perfect for this time of year. I’m behind on planting tomato plants – hoping it’s not too late because there’s nothing better than garden fresh tomatoes and pasta!
