I honestly didn’t think I would enjoy this as much as I did. I was never a fan of roasted tomatoes but now I’m the biggest fan ever. In fact, I don’t think I should ever purchase canned tomatoes ever again. That’s how good this was.
Best part? The tomatoes roasted in 20 minutes. This dish is all about fresh ingredients. I didn’t want this to be a cheesy gooey dish although cheesy gooey stuff is always good. I just wanted a fresh tasting bowl of pasta. You can, of course, add tons of fresh mozzarella and that would be delicious.

This was the best pasta recipe I have ever tried out from the internet. It was easy, creamy and absolutely Italian. I followed her directions from the video and it came out perfect and I didn’t need to correct or add anything. Just a great and simple recipe using bucatini, my favorite pasta.
