This is a new recipe. I love roasted tomatoes, but we don't have many recipes with them. This is very simple, but sometimes those are the best recipes. This is totally one of those recipes. I cannot believe how different this is from any other pasta we make. The flavor of the roasted tomatoes brings a sweetness and a depth I truly wasn't expecting. Also, it's very easy. Everything finishes while the tomatoes roast and then you simply toss it together. This also gets points for being beautiful. The colors are gorgeous. I recommend a thick spaghetti - angel hair or even linguini wouldn't stand up very well with this dish.

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Grape tomatoes, basil, Parmesan
Time: 30 minutes
Make ahead: I think this is best last minute.
