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 Flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was very skeptical when my sister gave me this recipe a year ago...I was proved very wrong! Amazing flavor and very easy... to make. I used 4 Roma tomatoes, 4 cloves of garlic and added chicken... I can't wait to see if it makes a cold pasta salad tomorrow! Will definately make againRead more

Amazing and so simple!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I recently made this recipe for a small dinner party and it was a hit. I paired it with Elie's oven-baked fried chicken... (great combination)! I did not have basil however, so I added 3 cups of fresh spinach to the pasta right before serving so it was just perfectly wilted...and I forgot to add the white beans, but they were not missed. I also added one small clove fresh garlic, olive oil and some fresh ground pepper right before serving to amp up the flavor. Everyone loved it and I will definitely make this again! Read more

pretty good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is a recipe that my family enjoyed, even though my son said, "it would be better with some chicken in it." I added more... garlic and tomatoes than the recipe called for, was pretty tasty. Economical meal and easy to make, went great with a salad.Read more

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
