You’ll always want to have roasted garlic and tomato on hand when you taste what they do to an otherwise ordinary pasta, basil and tomato toss.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 4 to 5 roma (plum) tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 garlic bulb, unpeeled
  • 1 cup uncooked mostaccioli or penne pasta (3 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
  • 2 ounces crumbled feta or cubed mozzarella cheese

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 300°F. Place aluminum foil on cookie sheet; generously brush with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Arrange tomato halves, cut sides up, in single layer on foil; brush with 2 teaspoons of the oil. Sprinkile with sugar, salt and pepper.
  • 2
    Cut 1/2 inch off top of garlic bulb; drizzle 1 teaspoon of the oil over garlic bulb. Wrap in aluminum foil; place on cookie sheet with tomatoes. Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until garlic is soft when pierced with a knife and tomatoes have begun to shrivel; cool slightly.
  • 3
    Cook and drain pasta as directed on package.
  • 4
    Squeeze garlic into remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and mash until smooth; toss with pasta. Add tomato halves and basil; toss. Top with cheese. Serve immediately.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Mostaccioli are tubular “mustaches” of pasta about 2 inches long. With slanted cuts at both ends, these pasta shapes have either a smooth or grooved finish.
  • tip 2
    You can roast the tomatoes and garlic ahead of time, if you’d like. Just toss with the hot pasta, basil and cheese when you're ready to eat!
