Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 12 ounces cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 8 ounces fresh white button mushrooms, washed and quartered
  • half on an onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound spaghetti (reserve 1/2 to 1 cup pasta water)
  • 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup pitted olives (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 2-ounce jar capers, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup butter 
  • fresh basil, Parmesan, for topping

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place all your sheet pan ingredients on a pan. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt. Roast for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions. Toss with a little butter or olive oil.
  • Transfer roasted veggies to a food processor. Add the canned tomatoes, garlic, salt, olives, olive oil, and lemon juice. Pulse until a textured sauce is formed. Taste and adjust and taste some more.
  • Toss cooked pasta with sauce. Throw in the capers, butter, and reserved pasta water a little at a time. Toss until it comes together in a very saucy way. Serve with a chef’s touch of fresh basil or Parmesan or whatever else you like on your pasta. Mwah!
