BLACK PEPPER & PARMESAN SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC ROASTED TOMATOES #vegetarian #pasta

This formula is an interpretation of Cacio E Pepe, which truly means cheddar and pepper. It's one of the least difficult formulas with insignificant fixings (pasta, cheddar, dark pepper, and fat), enabling every fixing to truly sparkle.

In the event that you are on a vegan diet, search for parmesan that is free of creature rennet. Rather, take a gander at the parmesan elements for vegetable rennet or microbial proteins.

Inspired by Cacio e Pepe (aka cheese and pepper), this delicious pasta dish is complemented with garlic roasted cherry tomatoes and fresh basil. An easy meal option that’s ready in 30 minutes!

INGREDIENTS
For the roasted tomatoes:

• 1 cup (5 oz) cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper

For the pasta:

• 4 oz. whole wheat spaghetti (or regular)
• ½ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated, plus more for topping
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• ½ tsp black pepper, coarsely ground
• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1. For the roasted tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 F. Place the ingredients for the roasted tomatoes on a baking sheet and mix together. Roast for 15-18 minutes, until the tomatoes are softened and wilted in appearance.
2. For the pasta: Meanwhile, boil salted water and cook pasta according to package directions, minus 1 minute to keep the pasta al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
3. In a large skillet at medium-high heat, add the olive oil, butter, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if you want), swirling the pan, until the butter is melted.
4. Reduce the temperature to low heat and stir in a ¼ cup of pasta water before adding in the pasta and parmesan cheese. Using tongs, toss and stir the pasta until the cheese is melted and the pasta is well coated. Add a tablespoon of pasta water at a time to get to your desired saucy consistency.
5. Gently toss in the roasted tomatoes and half of the chopped basil. Plate and sprinkle the remaining basil and additional parmesan cheese on top. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

NOTES
To keep this recipe vegetarian, make sure that the parmesan you choose is made without animal rennet; look at the cheeses' ingredient list for vegetable rennet or microbial enzymes.
