Baked Tomato Sauce with Pasta image

I love this recipe because it's fairly quick, and surprisingly tasty. I don't remember where I found it, but it goes over very well with my family.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup olive oil
1 1/2 lbs fresh tomatoes (about 4 large, 8 or 9 roma)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese or 1/4 cup romano cheese
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 lb pasta (rotelle or similar)
fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Choose a shallow baking dish that will hold tomatoes in a single layer.
  • Cover bottom of the dish with the olive oil.
  • Cut tomatoes. If using round tomatoes, cut into quarters; if using roma tomatoes, in halves.
  • Dip the cut surface of each tomato piece in the olive oil, then place in the pan cut-side up.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients except pasta, and sprinkle over the tomatoes.
  • Bake 40 minutes. Tomatoes should be very soft when removed from the oven.
  • While the tomatoes are baking, cook the pasta according to package directions and drain.
  • Place pasta in bowl and pour baked tomatoes and oil over.
  • Toss well to break up the tomatoes.
  • Serve with extra cheese if desired, or fresh parsley for garnish.
