Ingredients
Roasted Tomatoes:
Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 cups grape or small cherry tomatoes (about 10 ounces)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Fettuccine:
Kosher salt
1 pound whole wheat or brown rice fettuccine pasta
1/2 cup red wine, such as pinot noir
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cloves garlic, peeled
One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes in tomato juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
One 8-ounce ball fresh mozzarella cheese, drained and diced, or 8 ounces ciliengine, drained
Directions
- For the tomatoes: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray, and set aside.
- Toss the tomatoes, oil and salt together. Arrange the tomatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until the skins blister and turn dark brown in places, 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- For the fettuccine: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and place in a large serving bowl.
- In a blender, combine the red wine, 1 teaspoon salt, the red pepper flakes, black pepper, garlic, canned tomatoes (plus juices). Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 20 minutes.
- Toss together the pasta, tomato sauce, roasted tomatoes, peas and chopped basil. Arrange the cheese on top and serve.
