Roasted tomato pasta


This is quick and easy, the only thing it requires is hanging around the house to stir tomatoes every 30-40 mins, which can be made a day ahead, like on a rainy day when you can't go out.
Recipe:
2-3 baskets of small/cheery tomotoes (I love sun golds)
some olive oil
salt and pepper
a few cloves of garlic (minced)
handful of basil
1/2 pound of pasta
4-6 oz of mascapone (found at Trader Joe's, I use about 1/2 the container.)
Directions:
Heat oven to 200°. Meanwhile slice the tomatoes in half. Toss with some olive oil and kosher salt and pepper. Sprawl out the tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 4-5 hrs stirring occasionally. When they're ready they'll be pretty shriveled. 
Boil pasta, I chose wagon wheels because I was hoping it would entice Finn out of his picky eating. Chop up basil. In a pot saute minced garlic, when that's down throw in the tomatoes, basil and pasta then add the mascapone and stir and coat. It's delicious! Enjoy.
