Ingredients
  

1 pound (450g) cherry tomatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)

12 ounces (340g) pasta (fettuccine, penne, or your choice)

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Red pepper flakes, for a little heat (optional)

Instructions
 

Roast the Tomatoes:

    - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      - On a baking sheet, toss the cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer.

        - Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and slightly caramelized.

          Cook the Pasta:

            - While the tomatoes roast, boil a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

              Prepare the Sauce:

                - In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.

                  - Add the roasted tomatoes (with any juicy pan residue) to the skillet. Stir in the dried oregano.

                    - Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

                      Combine Everything:

                        - Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to combine. Ensure the pasta is coated well in the creamy sauce. Season with additional salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

                          Serve:

                            - Divide the creamy roasted tomato pasta among plates. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

                              Enjoy:

                                - Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of your creamy roasted tomato pasta!
