Flavorful ditalini pasta with rich San Marzano tomato sauce and creamy goat cheese.
Ingredients:
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 1 (28 ounce) can whole Italian plum tomatoes (such as San Marzano)
  • 0.5 onion, sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 (16 ounce) package ditalini pasta
  • 2 tablespoons fresh goat cheese, crumbled
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Coat the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Add in the tomatoes and their juices, then cut each tomato into 3 pieces. Sprinkle in the onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and 2 teaspoons of oregano; mix everything together well.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour, then stir and continue roasting for 15 more minutes.
  • Pour the roasted tomato mixture into a saucepan, add water, and blend using an immersion blender or potato masher until you achieve your desired sauce consistency. Mix in 1 teaspoon of oregano and season with salt and black pepper to your liking. Set the sauce aside.
  • Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a vigorous boil. Add ditalini and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
  • Combine tomato sauce with ditalini, then fold in creamy goat cheese until incorporated.
