Super simple and super delicious! This roasted tomato and smokey chili spaghetti recipe couldn’t be any easier to prepare and yet is still jam-packed with amazing flavour.
All the sauce ingredients go into a baking dish and then into the oven for about 30-40 minutes. Once removed, the tomatoes and garlic get squashed together with a fork and then tossed through the spaghetti. SO easy! Roasting the cherry tomatoes gives them a beautifully sweet flavour. Pair them up with the chili and smokey paprika and you get the perfect combination.
I like to serve my dish with a little glug of extra virgin olive oil and some fresh basil leaves. You could also serve it with fresh parmesan or some goat's cheese. Enjoy!
