Look at
these beauties. I'm seriously so happy about them right now. I saw the
idea to make homemade sun-dried tomatoes on Pinterest and pretty much
immediately went into the kitchen to make them yesterday. All you need
is a little basket of grape or cherry tomatoes, sliced in half (if you
only had regular tomatoes, I'm sure you could slice or chop them up and
it'd also work just fine!), some olive oil, and spices. I used salt,
pepper, oregano and garlic powder. I just sprinkled it all on without
any measurements. Then, toss it all together on a aluminum foil
sheet-lined baking pan and stick in the oven at 250 for 2 hours. Yes, 2
hours! Once you bite into one of these babies, you will be in heaven.
Ah-mazing!! Oh and to warn you, your house will smell incredible while
these are in the oven.
Then
I had the marvelous idea to mix these babies with some leftover
whole-wheat spaghetti in the fridge along with pesto and parmesan
cheese. Best decision ever! I very much recommend making this for
lunch. Or dinner. Just whenever. It's super easy and VERY TASTY and
healthy too!
Homemade Sun-dried Tomato Pesto Pasta
1 carton of grape or cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
dash of oregano
dash of garlic powder
dash of salt and pepper
Pesto sauce (can be homemade or jarred- I used jarred)
whole-wheat spaghetti, cooked
parmesan cheese, for sprinkling (optional)
1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
dash of oregano
dash of garlic powder
dash of salt and pepper
Pesto sauce (can be homemade or jarred- I used jarred)
whole-wheat spaghetti, cooked
parmesan cheese, for sprinkling (optional)
Heat
oven to 250 degrees F. On a foil-lined baking sheet, place the tomatoes
and combine with olive oil, salt and pepper, oregano and garlic
powder. Just sprinkle the spices on until you feel like it's enough.
Toss until all tomatoes are coated and then spread out evenly on baking
sheet. Bake in oven for 2 hours. When they are done, combine
whole-wheat spaghetti with pesto sauce (1/4 cup of pesto for every 1 cup
of pasta) and top with sun-dried tomatoes and parmesan cheese. Yum!
