Pasta with roasted cherry tomatoes and sauteed mushrooms
Roast
Italian cuisine
Roasting
This recipe is my go-to for a quick, healthy and delicious meal on any busy weeknight. It could be served as a main entree or a side dish. I am a pasta lover so I could easily have this as a meal by itself, I also like to add shiitake mushrooms to add more texture into the dish. <br /> <br />The only two fresh ingredients that you need to get from the grocery store are 1 package of fresh long pasta such as Linguine, Fettucine, Tagliatelle or Spaghetti and 1 pint of cherry tomatoes and a block of Parmigiano Reggiano (small to medium size depending on how much cheese you want). If you can't get your hand on fresh pasta, no worries, you can always use the dried pasta instead. The rest of the ingredients use whatever dried herbs and seasonings you've already had in your pantry. Very simple and budget-friendly. <br /> <br />The key to elevate this humble is in the dried herbs. I always make sure to stock my pantry with at least these 3 staples or what I call it the holy trinity of Italian cooking: basil, oregano and parsley. Another secret but no-so-secret ingredient is good ol' granulated sugar. It enhances the natural sweetness of the cherry tomatoes while tapering down any acidity or tartness.
