Ingredients
  

12 ounces spaghetti or your preferred pasta

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish)

Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for some heat)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare Tomatoes: In a mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all the tomatoes are coated.

      Roast the Tomatoes: Spread the seasoned tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and caramelized.

        Cook Pasta: While the tomatoes are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water.

          Toss Pasta and Tomatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the roasted tomatoes and all the juices from the baking sheet. If the mixture seems dry, gradually add reserved pasta water until you achieve your desired consistency.

            Serve and Garnish: Divide the pasta among serving plates. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh basil, and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for added heat if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately and savor the delicious blend of flavors!
