Roasted Tomatoes with Lemon Pasta
Since finding flavored pasta at a local farmers market, we have been obsessed with the Lemon Chive pasta. This pasta goes with almost everything including shrimp and chicken. But I really love it with veggies so I recently made this Roasted Tomatoes with Lemon Pasta dish that was perfection!
This dish of loveliness is filled with tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, and garlic.
The other benefit to a flavored pasta is that you can cut back on all the butter and oil you put into the pasta. I just use some lemon on top to season it!
I started but adding a little olive oil to some miniature tomatoes. This goes into the oven at 425° for 30 minutes.
The onions and mushrooms cooked in a little olive oil and salt & pepper to start. Then I added the garlic. I cooked the pasta in another pot but then added it to the pan with the veggies. Once I added the pasta, I used the juice of 1 full lemon to season it all. I did not put the tomatoes in the pan at all. I didn’t want the tomatoes to get all runny.
The tomatoes went on top with a little fresh parmesan. Add a little wine and you have the perfect dish! Pasta can be served with a variety of wines depending on what you enjoy. This pasta dinner can be served with a Zinfindel or maybe a Riesling.
