Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups whole cherry tomatoes
  • 3 cloves garlic, skin removed and thinly sliced
  • 4 strips lemon zest, each 1/4-inch wide and 2 inches long
  • 6 cardamom pods, pressed with the flat of a knife to crack pod
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 ounces dried pasta like pappardelle
  • 1/4 cup low sodium chicken stock
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper
  • Fresh herbs or fresh grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Add cherry tomatoes, garlic, lemon zest, cardamom pods and olive oil to a large oven-safe pan or Dutch oven. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Roast, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Stir the tomatoes then continue to roast until the tomatoes begin to split, 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil then cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.
  • Remove the pan from oven then remove and discard the cardamom pods and lemon zest. Place the pan over medium heat and add chicken stock. Bring to a simmer then cook until reduced by half. Add the cooked pasta and cook until the sauce coats the pasta, about 1 minute. Season to taste and serve.
