Basil Spaghetti With Cheesy Broiled Tomatoes

Just started getting our homegrown tomatoes in and, looking for a quick & easy recipe, I stumbled on this last night. I had saved and printed it from 2011 and so glad I did! Finally made it for the first time last night and it was AMAZING. Easy as boiling water and the flavor was out of this world - way beyond my expectations!!! Who would think broiling a tomato would be this good? This was our main course with a salad on the side and a nice little Pinot Grigio. My meat-eating husband did not even complain about the lack of animal parts. He RAVED over this. Score!

Good, but found pasta to be to dry. Will add some crushed tomatoes next time to pasta/garlic mixture before topping with roasted tomatoes. Very easy and quick.

Agreed. A little olive oil and a little cheese, but basically pasta and tomato.????

This is a perfect recipe! I can think of no way to improve or change it. I love it!

I love this recipe and so does my family, kid included. It's super easy and fast to make, too. I have made many times.

This recipe was super fast & easy, with ingredients that didn't require multiple trips to specialty grocery stores. It was delicious! I will definitely be making this again.

Doubled the garlic & used whole wheat spaghetti. Soooo good.

It beats me....why are calories so high?

This recipe was easy and so flavorful. I added an eggplant to the garlic-olive oil sauce for an extra veggie. Love the tomatoes and I used parmesan with manchego instead of mozzarella for a lactose-free diet. Can't wait to brag to all my co-workers about my delicious dinner.

This recipe is great! It has become a new favorite at my house! It is fresh, quick, easy, and very delicious. I would definitely recommend trying it.

I was looking for a fresh & easy-to-make recipe (aren't we all? :P) - and I definitely found it! This dish has so much flavor because of the basil, garlic, and cheese. I only used Parmesan, and without mozz, it still tastes great. Looking at the tip of adding pitted olives, follow it! They contributed nicely as well. The only thing I may have done differently was add more garlic.
