- 500 g mixed tomatoes
- 60 g garlic about 6 cloves
- 80 g purple onion 1 medium-sized onion
- Sea salt to taste
- Organic olive oil

- 500 g Spaghetti
- 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water
Roast the Tomatoes
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Wash and cut the tomatoes into equal-sized blocks. Peel the garlic and chop the onion.
Place the tomatoes, garlic, and onion in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, making sure everything is coated. Sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
Add the fresh rosemary sprigs to the mixture.
Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and starting to caramelize
Cook the Pasta
While the tomatoes are roasting, cook 500g of spaghetti in salted water for 11-13 minutes, or until al dente.
Once cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water and drain the rest.
Make the Sauce
Once the tomatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven and add the fresh cream to the mixture.
Use a stick blender to blend everything until smooth and creamy.
Add the reserved pasta water to the sauce, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until incorporated.
Combine and Serve
Pour the creamy tomato sauce over the drained pasta and stir to combine.
If you're using chili flakes, sprinkle them in now and mix through (they really enhance the flavor, so I highly recommend them!).
Dish up your pasta and serve with extra Parmesan and a sprinkle of chili flakes, if desired.
