Servings 2

- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 medium red onion, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs Rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher or sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 cup Bean or Legume (protein) pasta- cooked according to pkg directions Lentil or Black Bean
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Mix/stir together all ingredients and spread out on silicone or foil-lined baking sheet.
- Roast in oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until tomatoes have burst and onions are golden brown.
- Transfer to a bowl and smush with potato masher and stir until it combines to form a thick syrupy sauce.
- At this point you can taste and add in some garlic powder or red pepper flakes if you want to add a little zing. If you want a sweeter sauce, add in a 1/2 tsp sugar.
- Pour over pasta and mix together. Garnish with chopped basil or top with some nutritional yeast for a little cheesiness.
- Enjoy!
Notes
You can throw in some baby spinach to add extra flavor and nutrition (add it while the pasta and sauce are hot so it will wilt in), or serve with a side salad for a tasty, complete and nutritious meal!
If you don't have fresh herbs, substitute in 1 tbsp mixed dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano and basil).
