Notes
Add spice - Add red pepper flakes while roasting the vegetables to add a kick of spiciness.
Add protein - Toss the roasted tomatoes and pasta with shrimp, scallops or chunks of cooked chicken, salmon, swordfish, grilled steak or cubed tofu.
Skip the pasta and make it an appetizer - Serve the chunky smashed tomatoes over crostini (get my crostini recipe here) or crackers.
Make it saucy - To make the chunky roasted tomatoes into smooth and luscious sauce, puree with a blender or an immersion blender. Add some heavy cream or stock to thin it as desired.
