Recipe Summary Ditalini With Roasted Tomato Sauce And Goat Cheese
Make this because it tastes awesome. What the hot oven does to the deep red San Marzano tomatoes is a wonder to behold, and produces a pasta sauce with some serious depth of flavor. The always entertaining ditalini are a perfect medium for the rich sauce, smoky oregano, and creamy goat cheese.Ingredients | Roasted Vegetable Pasta Bake
¼ cup olive oil
1 (28 ounce) can whole Italian plum tomatoes (such as San Marzano)
½ onion, sliced
6 cloves garlic, crushed
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
2 cups cold water
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package ditalini pasta
2 tablespoons fresh goat cheese, crumbled
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Drizzle olive oil over the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Pour tomatoes and their juices into the dish; cut each tomato into 3 pieces. Sprinkle in onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and 2 teaspoons oregano; stir to combine.
Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove dish from oven, stir briefly, return to oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes.
Transfer roasted tomato mixture to a saucepan; pour in water. Process mixture with an immersion blender or potato masher until desired sauce consistency is reached. Stir in 1 teaspoon oregano. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the ditalini and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain well and return to pot.
Pour tomato sauce over ditalini; stir to combine. Stir in goat cheese.
