Every once in a while, I'm reminded that given the right fresh ingredients, simple food can be the best food. A few weeks ago, I took a break from all the sweets and posted some of my favorite pasta dishes. I mentioned a dish with roasted tomatoes I made and just loved late last summer after picking some grape tomatoes fresh from the vine. I recently made this for dinner and while it's such a simple thing, I wanted to post it here in case you're looking for an easy dinner idea. It's so simple and so good.

I picked these tomatoes up at the local market. Admittedly, they're not as good as the pick-it-yourself variety but it's still a delicious option this time of year. If you see grape tomatoes on the vine for picking at your local farm, load 'em up! Also, if you can get your hands on the yellow variety (which are a bit sweeter), I very highly recommend a mixture of red and yellow grape tomatoes for this dish.
All I do is roast these tomatoes in the oven with some olive oil, crushed garlic, salt & pepper (and basil if you have it) for about 45 minutes. It will make the kitchen smell amazing. Toss in some pasta and it's time for a hearty and delicious dinner.
