ROASTED GARLIC AND CHERRY TOMATO PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Peel off outer layers of the garlic but leave cloves intact. Chop about 1/2 inch off the top of the garlic head and place in a ramekin or small casserole dish. Drizzle the exposed side with 2 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes. Remove roasted garlic by squeezing it from the skins; set aside.
• Heat remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, cayenne, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium and cook until onion is translucent and slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
• Add tomatoes and white wine and continue to cook until most of the wine has been reduced, about 5 minutes. Add butter and cook until completely melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add roasted garlic and enough chicken broth to completely cover the tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until sauce has reduced and thickened, about 15 minutes.

• Roast in the middle of the preheated oven, stirring regularly, until tomatoes are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir in basil, parsley, and oregano.
• When the tomatoes have been roasting for about 35 minutes, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 7 minutes (cook for 2 minutes less than package directions.) Drain and return to the pot.
• Add the roasted tomatoes and herbs to the linguine and cook over medium-low heat for 2 minutes. Add ricotta cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
• Serve topped with Pecorino Romano cheese.
