SAUTEED CHERRY TOMATOES WITH GARLIC AND BASIL

Steps:

• Heat 1 Tb. olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high flame until it just starts to smoke. Add tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Saute, shaking pan frequently, until tomatoes soften and skins just begin to wrinkle, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and continue to shake the pan until garlic is fragrant. Off heat, stir in the basil and remaining 1 Tb. olive oil, then serve.

ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add cherry tomatoes; toss to coat.
• Spread cherry tomatoes in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast until skins are slightly shriveled, 35 to 40 minutes.

ROASTED CHERRY TOMATO AND FRESH HERB BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix tomatoes, 1/4 cup oil, shallots, vinegar, and crushed red pepper in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Roast uncovered until tomatoes are very tender and juicy, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons marjoram. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Brush cut surface of each bread half lightly with additional oil. Arrange bread, cut side up, on baking sheet. Distribute about 1 cup tomato mixture over each bread half. Bake until bread is crusty, about 10 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Sprinkle with additional marjoram and freshly ground black pepper. Cut bread into squares and serve.

CHERRY TOMATOES ON PROVOLONE GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• For the tomatoes, mix tomatoes, scallions, parsley, rosemary, garlic, olive oil and vinegar in a shallow bowl.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Cover bowl and let tomatoes marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour, but preferably 3-4 hours.
• Stir occasionally to distribute seasonings.
• For the bread, combine olive oil and garlic and let mixture stand for about 10 minutes so flavors can mingle. Meanwhile, heat the broiler.
• Brush one side of each bread slice with garlic and olive oil mixture and broil them oiled-side up until lightly browned.
• Put a slice of provolone and a generous sprinkling of Parmesan on each slice, reserving a little of the parmesan for garnish.
• Set aside. Just before serving, heat up broiler again and toast cheese until bubbly.
• Serve bread in shallow bowls, spooning about 3/4 cup of tomatoes and marinade over each slice, garnishing with remaining parmesan.

PENNE WITH ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line bottom of casserole dish with cherry tomatoes in a single layer, halved side up. Pour oil on top, season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle cheese and bread crumbs on top. Bake until tomatoes have wilted, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with enough sea salt so that water tastes mildly of salt. When tomatoes are just about done, add penne to water and cook until al dente (it should be pliable, but still firm in center). Scoop out about a cup of pasta water and reserve. Drain pasta and add to casserole. Fold tomatoes and pasta together, adding another 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil, to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning. If it is dry, add a little reserved pasta water. Serve, passing more grated cheese at the table.
