Simple delicious pasta. This Pappardelle Pasta with a Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce is really beautiful. Simple, no fuss, no screw up, delicious recipes. I love this one because you can use all those cherry tomatoes before they go bad. I know sometimes I have the best intentions to eat a ton of cherry tomatoes, and the cartons full of colorful cherry tomatoes are irresistible in the market. They are so pretty. That is what makes this recipe such a great one to have in your repertoire! Use up those cherry tomatoes before they go bad. You can even freeze this sauce to use it when you are ready.

What type of red wine do you suggest? I live in Mexico so we dont have to many options. Thank you
I am genuinely making this for a first ‘me making dinner’ date with a new boy. Very nervous/excited! Looks delish. :)
How fun! I know how nerve-racking this can be, but this is such an easy and delicious recipe, you’ll be fine! Good luck, it’ll be great!
Looks really good! The tomato sauce looks pretty easy to make so I have you saved and will be making it soon, but probably not until after the holidays! However, I will follow up after posting to let you know how mine came out. ! Thanks for posting!!
I made this last night. ZOMG! A new favorite for us. Absolutely delicious.
This is almost too pretty to eat. But I totally would anyways.
This dish is amazing!! I added chili pepper flakes while the sauce was simmering to give it a little spice and invited my friend and my Italian neighbors for dinner- and the Italians loved it! Definitely a dish that I will make time and again- thank you!
Yay! So glad everything worked out great for you!
Well, I’ll be looking forward to making this on my Friday date! I’m sure he’s going to love it.
Ohhh!!! Please let us know how it goes! :)
