Jazz up your Spaghetti

Today I made spaghetti and decided to use this Basil Roasted Tomatoes recipe from my good friend Jena "Longshanks" Wright-  to jazz it up a bit.

Basil Roasted Tomatoes

8-10 Roma Tomatoes, I slice them in half, remove pulp, then dice them

2-3 cloves of garlic, minced

6-10 fresh basil leaves, chopped tiny, (or about a tbsp dried)

olive oil (enough to coat everything)

salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients and roast in a bowl or dish at 250 for about 2 hours.  This time and temp varies drastically, the recipe is very forgiving, if I'm in a hurry I've put them in at 350 for 45 minutes, roasting them longer just brings out the flavor better.  

 

They were delicious out of the oven, unfortunately LEGS had to leave for his night flight before we could enjoy the spaghetti.  The sauce is currently simmering down on the stove.  So CHEERS! To a Midnight Spaghetti Rendezvous!!! Hubba Hubba!!! .*)
