Ingredients

3 large tomatoes, cut into wedges
4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1(15 ounce) can cannellini beans
1/2 pound penne pasta
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Slice each tomato into 8 wedges and discard the seeds. Put the tomato wedges and garlic into a 9 by 13-inch roasting pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and a few turns of pepper. Roast in the oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes.

Drain the beans into a large colander in the sink. Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. Drain the pasta into the colander containing the beans, so the hot pasta water will warm the beans. Return drained pasta and beans to the pasta pot.

When the tomatoes are done, pick out the garlic cloves, squeeze the garlic out of the skin into a small bowl and mash with a fork. Pour the roasted tomatoes into the pasta pot, add the garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the basil and additional salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to combine. Serve topped with the Parmesan.

Wonderful vegetarian dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

In Quick and Fresh magazine she modified her recipe with these changes. 6 cloves of garlic, 3 TBS olive oil,1/2 tsp of salt,... 1/3 cup basil and 1/4 cup Parmesan. I made it like this and it was wonderful. It was amazing to get such incredible flavor from a few simple ingredients. I may have added a little more Salt and Pepper. Yummy. I served it with Paula Deens Brocolli Salad which went well with the flavors.Read more

Tomatoes cooked too long
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe was very tasty, and I'll definitely make it again. Next time I will watch the tomatoes a bit more carefully and... not let them cook as long as recommended though, as they became pretty charred when they were roasted for the full time on the recipe. Read more

Easy, Healthy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I thought this was a great pasta dish. I'm a huge fan of light and delicate pasta dishes and really enjoyed the added twist... of roasting the tomatoes and garlic. I did add more tomatoes and garlic than called for (personal preference). Read more

Good, tasted healthy--not in a bad way
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I really enjoyed this dish. The white beans were very tasty. I would have added more cheese but that would sort of defeated... the point of making a healthy dish. Thanks Ellie!Read more

Great Meatless Pasta
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is one of my favorite pasta recipe, hands down. Roasting the tomatoes give them such a concentrated flavor which adds a... lot of depth to the recipe. My teenage sons actually ask when I'm going to make this again. A real keeper. Read more

I subbed whole wheat penne for this recipe and was surprised at how fast it all came together, I loved the light flavor and... roasting the tomatoes really brought out the flavor in them.Read more
