Oven Roasted Tomato Macaroni

Dive into a delightful summer meal with Oven Roasted Tomato Macaroni. This vegan dish combines juicy tomatoes, fresh peas, and creamy avocado on hearty macaroni. Perfect for summer gatherings or alfresco dinners!

Summertime calls for bright and zesty flavors that celebrate the season’s bounty, and that’s exactly what you’ll find in this Oven Roasted Tomato Macaroni. If you’ve ever craved the comforting embrace of mac and cheese but wanted something lighter, this recipe is your answer.

Sweet and juicy tomatoes, bursts of fresh peas, and the creaminess of avocado all come together on a bed of hearty macaroni. It’s a symphony of flavors that’s perfect for summer get-togethers, al fresco dinners, or any meal that deserves a touch of sunshine. Let’s embark on a culinary journey that captures the essence of summer!

The essentials for this recipe

  • Macaroni Pasta: The foundation of any great mac and cheese, this pasta provides the satisfying base for our dish.
  • Fresh Peas: These little green gems add a burst of color, flavor, and nutrients to our macaroni creation.
  • Avocado Roses: Creamy avocado slices not only enhance the creaminess but also add a touch of elegance to the dish.
  • Tomato Sauce: The star of the show, this sauce is made from ripe tomatoes, garlic, onions, fresh basil, and a hint of coconut sugar. It’s responsible for the delightful sweet and zesty flavors in every bite.

This roasted tomato macaroni is the epitome of deliciousness.

The sweet and succulent tomatoes, infused with the aromatic basil and zesty flavors, create a tantalizing tomato sauce that blankets the hearty macaroni. The addition of fresh peas adds a delightful pop of color and sweetness, while creamy avocado roses crown this dish with a touch of decadence. 

Roasting the Tomatoes

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F. On a baking tray, drizzle olive oil and sprinkle diced onions and rough-chopped garlic. Add ripe Roma tomatoes (halved) and bake for 30 minutes. Then, toss in fresh basil and halved baby tomatoes for an additional 10 minutes, just until the skins of the Roma tomatoes start to lift.

Creating the Tomato Sauce

After roasting, set aside some of the roasted baby tomatoes. Peel the skins from the Roma tomatoes and pour them into a bowl, along with all those flavorful roasting juices. Using a potato masher or fork, gently mash until you have a textured sauce.

Cooking the Macaroni

In a pot, combine your macaroni pasta, the freshly made tomato sauce, and the fresh peas. Warm everything through gently, letting the flavors meld together beautifully.

Serving

Dish out your delightful macaroni into bowls, and top each serving with the reserved roasted baby tomatoes and creamy avocado slices.

Summer is all about savoring the abundance of flavors that this season has to offer, and this Oven Roasted Tomato Macaroni captures that essence perfectly.

With the sweetness of roasted tomatoes, the bursts of green peas, and the creamy indulgence of avocado, it’s a dish that will keep you coming back for more. Whether you’re dining alfresco under the stars, hosting a summer gathering with friends, or simply enjoying a cozy meal at home, this light and zesty pasta creation is a delightful addition to your summer menu. Enjoy every bite and savor the taste of summer!
