Ingredients

• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Fresh basil - 10 grams, chopped

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a baking dish, combine the cherry tomatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the tomatoes.
3. Roast the tomatoes in the oven for 20 minutes until they are blistered and soft.

5. Remove the roasted tomatoes from the oven and use a fork to crush them slightly in the baking dish to create a sauce.
6. Add the cooked pasta to the baking dish with the crushed tomatoes. Mix well, adding reserved pasta water as needed to achieve a creamy consistency.
