Penne with tomato, basil, olives and pecorino
Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.Throw the tomatoes into a large roasting tin, drizzle them with olive oil, season with some salt and pepper and pop them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Once theyre roasted, squash the tomatoes with a fork to get the juices going and drizzle over some balsamic vinegar.
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the pack instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and add the roasted tomato sauce and the olives. Tear over most of the basil leaves and toss everything together. Season and serve with the reserved basil leaves scattered over and some freshly grated pecorino.

This dish is so easy to make and yet tastes amazing. It is definitely going to become a regular with me.
I cooked it for a family get together and it was thumbs up all round.
Cheers mate!

Thank you, Jamie! This was wonderful. I love it too because I can add other things, like roasted garlic and roasted peppers, as I have them. It's so versatile!

Jamie, that was delicious. I added prawns cooked in garlic and butter. Roasted tomatoes with balsamic were really great.
