Already sweet cherry tomatoes, intensified by roasting, are tossed with summery basil, tangy feta crumbles, and angel hair pasta.
Why try? Served warm, cold, or room temperature, this pasta is a great side or summer lunch. Keep it simple or add other favorites like bacon, green onions, or black olives.
Foodie Byte: After tasting many varieties of cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, and cherry-grape tomatoes, we at The Food Channel test kitchens found that the best tasting ones are generally the smaller varieties and may not necessarily be the most brightly colored. Since they will be roasted anyway, the color isn’t as important as their sweet, unadulterated summer flavor, so choose wisely!
