Tomatoes and basil are a match made in heaven. This recipe features this classic combination with a fun twist. Edamame pasta is packed with protein and is the perfect vessel for this simple sauce. Slow roasting the tomatoes gives this sauce a creamy mouthfeel without the cream. This dish is very forgiving, so get creative and use as few or as many tomatoes as you like.

Instructions

- In large shallow saucepan or frypan, heat oil over medium. Add tomatoes and slowly roast until they burst open and form a creamy consistency, 15 to 20 mins. Add vinegar and stir to combine. Add fresh basil and oregano and let cook for a few minutes to wilt herbs and allow flavors to blend. Add cooked and drained pasta and toss to coat pasta in sauce. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. Serve as is or add a flavor boost with grated Parmesan or some crunch with vegan crumble (see tip).
