Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups cherry tomatoes OR grape tomatoes OR combination of both
  • ½ recipe of my tofu ricotta (2 cups), link below
  • 1 large shallot, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp parsley, chopped, + more for garnish if desired
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 servings pasta of choice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF and set oven racks to middle-top.
  • In a large and deep baking dish, add the cherry tomatoes, shallot, garlic and parsley. 
  • Dollop the tofu ricotta in the middle of the dish and spread it out slightly. Drizzle on the olive oil and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake for 30mins or until the tofu ricotta is golden brown and the tomatoes are bubbling. 
  • Meanwhile, Cook the pasta (with 1tbsp oil and a pinch of salt) according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Remove the dish from the oven. Using a fork, gently crush the tomatoes and mix everything together. If the mixture is slightly watery, that is okay. 
  • Pour in the cooked pasta and mix well.
  • Garnish with some more fresh parsley and serve!

Notes

  • You can reduce the olive oil to just 2 tbsp if you want less oil. 
  • When you’re crushing the tomatoes, the tomatoes may or may not burst and spill juice everywhere so beware!
