How to make Roasted Garlic Tomato Spaghettini with Garlic Parmesan Bread Crumbs
I love this meal because it just screams summer. I imagine eating this outside, at the end of a warm summer day and sipping on something bubbly (knowing me, probably kombucha). Spring may have just started, but I already have that summer itch.
The toasted breadcrumbs add a great texture - the crunch from the breadcrumbs and saltiness from the parmesan is perfection.
And don't get me started on the amazing flavors you get from the roasted tomatoes and garlic. This is a classic combo that never gets old.
Serve this as the main or a side. To be honest, I could eat this stuff straight out of the pan.

Roasted Garlic Tomato Spaghettini with Garlic Parmesan Bread Crumbs
Ingredients
- ¼ cup + ½ tsp olive oil separated
- ⅛ cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoon vegan parmesan
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 head garlic peeled*
- 12 oz cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
- 8 oz spaghettini or thin spaghetti
- ¼ cup fresh basil packed and chopped
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Place a pan on the stove over medium heat. Add ½ teaspoon of olive oil to the pan, followed by bread crumbs, parmesan and garlic powder. Sauté until browned, stirring regularly so it doesn't burn. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Line a baking sheet with foil. Combine garlic, tomatoes, rosemary and 2 tablespoons of olive oil and spread evenly on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and place in the oven for 10-12 minutes (or until tomatoes begin to blister and garlic softens).
- While tomatoes are cooking, add spaghettini to boiling water and cook until tender (8-10 minutes). Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
- Place pasta pot back on the stove over low heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add cooked pasta, tomato/garlic mixture and basil to the pot and stir to combine. Add pasta water ¼ cup at a time until sauce reaches desired consistency. Taste and add salt and pepper. Top with desired amount of toasted bread crumbs.**
- Enjoy!
Notes
**I prefer to leave the bread crumbs off and let each person add as much as they want to their own bowl.

We love to use pre-peeled garlic. We always have some around, but our supply is low right now. How many cloves would you estimate. (I realize the size of cloves varies.)
Rene
Hi Ruchama - I would easily add 8-10 cloves to this!
