If you have ever planted Cherry Tomatoes, you know how prolific they can be. I bought my plants from a young guy at the Farmer’s Market. I thought I was getting San Marzanos for tomato sauce, instead I got about a dozen Sun Golds and another cherry tomato! With lemons you make lemonade, with tomatoes, you make sauce!
As good as they are, I get tired of eating them plain. So I roasted them with garlic and onion, then added them to cooked pasta along with Asiago Cheese, Parmesan and fresh basil. The fresh roasted Sun Gold Tomatoes made a sweet sauce for the pasta. Change up the ingredients, and make this recipe yours. Add a salad and you have a meal. Enjoy!
