Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until softened, stirring occasionally (about 5 minutes)
- 2
Meanwhile bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain.
- 3
Add the garlic, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper (if using) and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- 4
Use a potato masher or the back of a large spoon to carefully mash the tomatoes and release their juices. Continue cooking another 5-10 minutes, until the sauce has just started to thicken.
- 5
Add the drained pasta to the sauce along with the basil and mix to combine. Add the reserved pasta water as necessary to reach the desired consistency.
- 6
Serve with more fresh basil, parmesan cheese, and crushed red pepper.

Pasta with Tomatoes and Olives Pasta with Tomatoes and Olives
If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that I turn to Nora Roberts for comfort reading and comfort eating. There is a soothing formula to her trilogies. In times of crisis (hello, pandemic…) I know what I’m going to get and that her characters are never going to let me down.The trilogies that I enjoy most feature food pretty prominently. There is almost always a member of the team who is either a professional cook or someone who cooks elaborately to think, relax, or strategize. This specific pasta comes from "Stars of Fortune" and is so simple to make that you could easily enjoy it any time the fancy strikes.Full disclosure, in the book it’s penne and black olives, but I went with what I had and thought would be delicious. Please feel free to do the same. “Pasta with Tomatoes and Olives” is as open-ended a direction as you would like it to be.Note: I used my air fryer’s dehydration setting to roast my tomatoes, but you could do them in the oven just as effectively. Or, buy a jar of sun dried. Or, use them fresh. There’s no wrong way to do this.

Pasta Pomodoro Pasta Pomodoro
While my family and I are true-blue carnivores, even we have our limits. Having enjoyed way too much meat the last week, we decided it was time for something a little lighter. Since it'd also been ages since we had a nice Italian-style pasta, I chose to cobble this dish together using techniques from a few different recipes. It worked out perfectly.
