- About 5 minutes before the tomatoes are done, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook your pasta until it’s al dente. Drain it, but reserve a small cup of the pasta water—this can help adjust the sauce later if needed.
- Once the tomatoes and garlic are perfectly roasted, transfer them to a blender. Add the grated Parmesan and fresh basil leaves, along with the reserved pasta water. Blend until smooth, adding more water if needed.50 g grated Parmesan, Handful fresh basil

Notes
To elevate your roasted garlic pasta even further, opt for vine-ripened tomatoes. Tomatoes on the vine tend to be fresher and more flavorful since they continue to draw nutrients from the stem. Their natural sweetness and juiciness will enhance the richness of your sauce, making every bite of your pasta irresistibly delicious.
