Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Halve the cherry tomatoes and spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Roast the tomatoes for about 20–25 minutes until soft and caramelized.
- While the tomatoes roast, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions (9–11 minutes) until al dente.
- In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, basil, and lemon juice. Mix until creamy and well blended.
- Reserve ½ cup of starchy pasta water before draining. Return the drained pasta to the pot and fold in the roasted tomatoes with their juices.
- Incorporate the ricotta sauce into the pasta mixture and gradually add reserved pasta water until reaching desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
- Plate and garnish with extra basil or Parmesan cheese.
