Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Tomatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until they are caramelized and soft.

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the capellini pasta according to package instructions, usually about 2-4 minutes. Be careful not to overcook. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare Garlic Butter

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat.

    Garnish and Serve

    Plate the pasta and garnish with micro basil. Serve immediately with additional lemon oil drizzled on top if desired.
