Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Rinse and dry the cherry tomatoes thoroughly before placing them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Slice off the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves and add it to the bowl with tomatoes.
  4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the tomatoes and garlic; season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  5. Transfer the seasoned tomatoes and garlic onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the pasta until al dente, typically around 8-10 minutes.
  7. Once roasted, squeeze the garlic into a mixing bowl and mash it with the tomatoes for a chunky sauce.
  8. Mix in the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Combine the cooked pasta with the roasted tomato sauce, adding reserved pasta water to achieve desired consistency.
  10. Fold in fresh basil and serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
