Notes
Don’t skip out on roasting the tomatoes before adding them to the pasta! This is what gives the pasta great flavour, and also softens the tomatoes so they cook into a saucy texture.
Season the pasta water with salt. This will help infuse the pasta to make it extra flavourful.
For a creamier pasta, set aside 1/4 cup of pasta water to add back to the pasta. This will make a creamier saucy pasta.
Store any leftovers in the fridge in an air-tight container for 2-3 days.
