Dreamy Garden Spaghettini

When tomatoes are not at their prime, baking caramelizes them and brings out the sugar, making them as sweet as summer's best.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

8 ripe plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup loosely packed whole, small flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon drained tiny capers
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
12 ounces dried spaghettini
1/4 pound snow peas, blanched
1 bunch arugula, rinsed and patted dry (for garnish)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Preheat the oven to 250°F. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with foil. Place the tomatoes, cut-side up, on the foil. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the sugar and pepper. Roast in the oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and place the tomatoes and their juices in a large bowl.

    Step 2

    2. Add the parsley, capers, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the tomatoes; toss gently.

    Step 3

    3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghettini until just tender, drain and add it to the tomato mixture. Toss well.

    Step 4

    4. Toss the snow peas with the hot pasta and tomatoes. Serve in shallow bowls, garnished with arugula.
