Roasted Tomato Pasta With Goat Cheese

My roasted tomato pasta with goat cheese is simple and indulgent with a hunk of velvety goat cheese coating each bite! It can be customized however you’d like it, making it an easy to cook and easy to clean up dish.

The famous feta roasted tomato pasta had feta chunks disappearing from grocery stores in the blink of an eye. But me being me, I still wanted to try this recipe and had the thought to use goat cheese instead!

As the famous recipe, grape tomatoes drizzled with olive oil get roasted with cloves of garlic. Once the tomatoes get to that bursty, roasty stage, with savory umami rich garlic also providing a depth, room temperature goat cheese gets thrown in and stirred with pasta and a little bit of pasta water thrown in. I had some crumbled feta cheese so I threw that on top with some chopped kale. But parmesan works too.

This pasta is also very customizable. While the original recipe relies on few ingredients, I found I can add whatever I had in the fridge. I put in chopped kale and the kale gets wilted from the heat. I also threw some chopped salami on top since I had it but no big deal if you don’t throw in salami! The dish is hearty enough without it. I think you can add some roasted summer corn, chopped olives, or roasted veggies like asparatus or peppers! The overall result of this dish is a rich, tangy, tangled mess of spaghetti with a deep caramelized tomatoes, umami sweet garlic, with rich goat cheese coating every single bite.

I liked using spaghetti, so the cheese and tomato all get tangled into a gooey mess. But obviously you can use whatever pasta you have on hand! Try this pasta today!
