Pasta Preparation

1. Cook the Spaghetti

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). In a baking dish, combine cherry tomatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat and spread the tomatoes in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes until the tomatoes are blistered and caramelized.
