Roasted Garlic Tomato Tortellini

Ingredients

2 pounds of tomatoes (plum, grape or cherry), halved
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dry oregano
1/2 teaspoon dry basil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 cup olive oil (to drizzle on the tomatoes)
2 tablespoons olive oil (for after cooking)

Cooking Directions

Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
Wash the tomatoes. Cut them in half and place them cut side up on a aluminum foiled covered baking dish (lightly coated with a non-stick cooking spray).
 
Mix 1/4 cup of olive oil with the garlic, basil, oregano, salt and pepper.  Use a spoon to cover the tomatoes with the mixture.  Cover with the remainder of the olive oil.  Bake for 35 minutes.
 
Cook the pasta according to their directions.
 
When the tomatoes are done, take half of them and place them in a bowl. Mash them using a tomato masher (or a fork).  Top with the pasta and mix together.  Serve, topping with the remainder of the tomatoes and fresh Parmesan cheese.
