3 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt & pepper
2 large garlic cloves, minced
4 cups Baby Spinach
1 lb thin spaghetti
1/2 cup shredded asiago cheese (you can use more if you like- I do)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Toss the tomatoes with the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic & salt & pepper.
Spread tomatoes on a foil lined baking sheet.
Roast tomatoes for 20 to 30 minutes or until shriveled and lightly browned. Scrape tomatoes and juices into a large bowl. Add the spinach.
Meanwhile, prepare pasta according to directions.
Toss pasta with the spinach & roasted tomatoes, asiago and basil.
Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and flat leaf parsley.
Serve with additional cheese on the side.
You could also add roasted chicken, sausages or fish.
You could also use cherry tomatoes in place of the grape tomatoes and flat leaf parsley in place of the basil.
