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.
The simplicity of this dish is in its ‘one tray wonder’ qualities. All the sauce ingredients go onto a paper lined baking tray and then into the oven for about 45 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 goats cheese.
For my gluten intolerant or carb conscious friends, simply swap the spaghetti for a gluten-free spaghetti (I use ‘Barilla’ brand, it’s great), or even a bean pasta like a mung bean noodle, or you could also use a zucchini noodle created using a spiralizer. So many options!
Enjoy!
