Tagliatelle with Roasted Tomatoes & Pesto Ricotta

You all know my deep deep love for pasta right?!?! What American-Italian doesn’t have a bit of an obsession with the beauty that is pasta? Today I’m sharing with you an incredible recipe for Tagliatelle with Roasted Tomatoes & Pesto Ricotta. A quick and flavorful dinner. Grape tomatoes are roasted until they are bursting with caramelization. A simple pesto ricotta makes the creamy and luscious sauce that just grabs onto those strands of tagliatelle. 

I was recently given the opportunity to sample some of Oil & Vinegars most popular products. Oil & Vinegar is culinary boutique store specializing in gourmet food and cooking products from around the world, as well as gourmet gifts and baskets for individual or corporate giving. Located in the beautiful business district of Montclair Center, the store bring its collection of gourmet flavors to home chefs in northern New Jersey, as well as New York City and its suburbs. I ABSOLUTELY plan on making the most of their gorgeous gifts for the holidays!

I couldn’t wait to dig right in and create a dinner that was simple but packed with incredible flavor and I have to tell you, these products made it SO easy! Fresh tomatoes while in season are a must so I picked up some grape tomatoes. to bring out their natural sweetness even more I drizzled on some of the Bronsecco Extra Virgin Olive Oil I received, seasoned with salt and pepper and roasted the tomatoes until they were beautifully caramelized.

I knew I really wanted to incorporate that Pistachio Pesto as well and thought that paired with creamy ricotta and the natural juices of the tomatoes would make for one incredible sauce! The Pistachio Pesto is fantastic! Made without any coloring agents or preservatives you get just fresh true flavor of the Sicilian pistachios! Oh, and yes it is actually that simple… add the ricotta, pesto and a little reserved pasta water to a bowl, stirred up until smooth then tossed with the al dente tagliatelle and roasted tomatoes and dinner is served!

I can’t forget to mention this little gem, the Bruschetta Originale because i’ve already used i twice! First I made a simple herb dip to serve with the Grissini- aka mini bread sticks. Then I added it to my garlic & herb chicken marinade and I have to say the flavor was amped up big time! Absolutely delicious for grilled chicken!
