Low-fat ricotta is the perfect base for a simple pasta sauce. Roasted tomatoes bring sweetness and acidity to balance the dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved (about 4 cups)
  • 5 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • ½ tsp. salt, divided
  • 8 oz. uncooked spaghetti
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh basil
  • ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup (2 oz.) ricotta salata cheese, crumbled

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Place tomatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil; sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Bake until tomatoes collapse (20 minutes).
  3. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain pasta in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1/3 cup cooking liquid.
  4. Return pasta and reserved liquid to pan; stir in tomatoes, remaining 4 teaspoons oil, remaining 3/8 teaspoon salt, basil, pepper, and cheese. Toss well. Serve immediately.
