Pasta with Roasted Tomato Sauce Time: 35 minutes
3 regular tomatoes or 4 roma tomatoes or 2 - 3 cups assorted cherry tomatoes or any combination
...in other words, whatever you have or is available - garden fresh, of course

1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup olive oil, the good stuff
2 tbs snipped fresh chives
2 tbs snipped fresh basil
1 1/4 cup pasta, bite-size, fusilli, farfalle, penne, etc.
Cook pasta according to package directions. While it cooks: Cut tomatoes in chunks, (cherry tomatoes in halves). Coat the bottom of a glass baking dish with half of the oil. Spread tomatoes in a single, but compact layer in dish. Mince garlic and sprinkle over top. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with olive oil.
