Creamy melted ricotta cheese and roasted cherry tomatoes tossed with fresh herbs atop whole wheat linguine, ready in under 1 hour.
Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds red cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 0.5 pound tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.25 cup julienned fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 12 ounces whole wheat linguine
  • 0.5 (16 ounce) container low-fat ricotta cheese
  • 0.5 cup finely shredded Pecorino Romano cheese
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) for a perfectly heated cooking environment.
  • Toss together tomatoes, garlic, chicken broth, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a large glass baking dish until well coated.
  • Roast in the center of the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are tender, approximately 45 minutes.
  • Stir in basil, parsley, and oregano immediately after taking it out of the oven.
  • After roasting the tomatoes for approximately 35 minutes, begin boiling a large pot of lightly salted water.
  • Boil linguine until al dente, about 5 to 7 minutes (2 minutes less than directed on package.) Drain and place back in the pot.
  • Combine the roasted tomatoes and herbs with the linguine, simmer gently over medium-low heat for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in ricotta cheese until velvety and fully melted.
  • Garnish with a generous sprinkle of Pecorino Romano cheese before serving.
