The best part about summer is the sweet, sweet tomatoes.
We generally have all sorts of weird and wonderful tomato varieties in Spain but this year was the first time we saw these green watermelon-like cherry tomatoes in the supermarket.
At first we thought they were something like a kumato, which we generally have in the summer, but the colour wasn’t quite right.
A bit of googling led me to this seed seller. They’re called striped tomatoes and, wow, how cool are those! Some of those are definitely going on the list for next year’s vegetable garden!
So for this recipe for vegan roasted tomato pasta with garlic and basil you’ll need a lot of tomatoes.
Cherry, grape or pear will all work fine and, obviously, any colour your heart desires. Toss them in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper and pop them in a hot oven to roast.
Then a lot of garlic.
I’m such a garlic-lover so I went with twelve cloves (but I considered adding more). I’m one of those weirdos who doubles (or sometimes triples) the amount of garlic a recipe calls for. If you don’t like garlic then there must be something wrong with you and we certainly can’t be friends.
Slowly and gently fry your twelve sliced cloves of garlic in abundant olive oil, add your cooked pasta, roasted tomatoes, season and sprinkle over some fresh basil. That’s it. Cooking for dummies, am I right?
Tomato, basil and garlic are certainly a match made in heaven.
If you’re more of a creamy, saucy pasta kind of person, perhaps you’d like this creamy vegan pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and basil. You could swap out the sun-dried tomatoes for these roasted ones (and the four cloves of garlic for twelve!). Enjoy!

I love dinners that are simple, colorful, and scream summer freshness! This one is pinned for making Saturday as I have my meals already planned out for the week. Guess what I'm making for the third time in less than a month ... Your amazing quesadillas with the chipotle white bean spread! Yep, my omnivore husband can't get enough of them, and actually neither can I lol!

Oh wow, who knew that the quesadillas would be such a hit! I haven't made them for myself in a while, you've reminded me. Perhaps I'll make them for dinner tonight!
