Tomatoes Roasted with Rosemary and Lemon

Tomatoes Roasted with Rosemary and Lemon

1/4 C. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 T. chopped fresh rosemary
1 T. EVOO
2 tsp. grated lemon rind
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
4 lb. plum tomatoes, quartered lengthwise
3 garlic cloves, minced

Preheat oven to 400°. Place all ingredients in a large bowl, and toss well to combine. Place tomato mixture in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove mixture from oven. Preheat broiler. Broil tomatoes for 10 minutes or until they begin to brown. Remove from oven; stir gently to combine. Proof that simple foods are often best, this colorful multipurpose combination of tomatoes, herbs, and lemon smells almost as good as it tastes. To serve over pasta, cook 12 oz. dried pasta; drain and return pasta to pan. Stir in 3 C. of the roasted tomatoes; cook over low heat until liquid thickens. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese. Note: Place chilled tomatoes in heavy-duty zip-top plastic bags; freeze for up to 3 months.
