Ingredients

  • 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
  • 2-3 fresh sprigs of rosemary
  • 200 g fresh cream
  • 120 g Parmesan cheese grated
  • Chili flakes optional, to taste
  • 500 g Spaghetti
  • 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water

Instructions

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.
