📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 425ºF (218ºC).
2
Add the cherry tomatoes to a large broil-safe 9X13” (23x33cm) baking dish, then pour in the olive oil.
3
Add salt and pepper to your taste (I like to be generous with the salt, as goat cheese is not very salty), and toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil until well coated.
Salt and pepper (to taste)
4
Make a rectangular well in the center of the baking dish big enough for the log of goat cheese and place it in the middle.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for ⏱️ 30-35 minutes, or until the cherry tomatoes blister and the cheese begins to brown.
6
When there are ⏱️ 15-20 minutes left in the baking time, fill a large pot with hot water.
7
Bring the water to a boil, then salt generously. Add in your pasta and cook according to package directions.
dried pasta (medium cut (340 grams))12 oz
8
When the pasta is al dente, drain it in a colander over the sink and place a plate on top to keep it warm.

9
Once your cooking time is up, set the oven to “broil.” NOTE: Only do this if you have a broiler-safe dish, if not you can just bake for an additional ⏱️ 5-10 minutes at an increased heat of 450ºF if desired.
10
Broil for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye on the pan; it’s done once many of the tomatoes are blistered and the cheese is lightly browned on top.
11
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven, then add in 3 minced garlic cloves.

12
Use the bottom of a wooden spoon to break up the tomatoes and goat cheese, and combine it into a creamy sauce. The residual heat will help to “cook” the garlic.

13
Sprinkle in the fresh basil and stir to combine.
14
Finally, add in the cooked pasta and stir until it is coated in the goat cheese and tomato sauce.

15
Serve with additional fresh basil (if desired), and enjoy.
