We really enjoyed this. My 4 tomatoes were very large, so I used 2 additional cloves of garlic. The finished dish needed a bit more salt. I served this over 3/4 lb. of angel hair pasta. The flavor was subtle but had nice depth and was warm and comforting. I tried to reduce the amount of olive oil used, but ended up needing all of it to keep the tomatoes moist while roasting. This made a delicious dinner enjoyed by all 5 of us. -
Excellent and easy!!!!
