Introduction

My husband and I had this dish (in a slightly different form) at our favourite Italian restaurant in Brussels (Aglio e Olio, near Place Flagey). It was so fresh and simple, I tried making it at home. It has since become a firm favourite!

Roast the cherry tomatoes in the oven until skins split and they become slightly brown and tender.

Boil the pasta when toms nearly ready.

When done, transfer pasta to oven proof dish and pour over the cheese sauce.

Grate parmesan over top. Add roasted toms and put dish into fairly warm (150-200Â°) oven to heat through.
