| 2 tbsp olive oil |
| 1 clove garlic, finely chopped |
| 1 red chili pepper, deseeded and finely chopped |
| 1 sprig fresh thyme |
| 450g (1lb) tomatoes, skinned and quartered |

| 250g (9oz) pasta |

directions
Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/gas mark 7. Heat half the olive oil in a pan and gently cook the garlic and chili for 2-3 minutes until soft, but not browned. Add the thyme and skinned tomatoes to the pan. Heat gently and simmer uncovered, for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes are reduced to a fairly thick sauce. Stir in the sun-blushed tomatoes. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Put the cherry tomatoes in a roasting tin and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Shake the pan so the tomatoes are evenly covered. Roast the tomatoes in the oven for 6-7 minutes or until they start to split. Drain the pasta and stir in the tomato sauce. Divide between four plates then gently fold in the roasted tomatoes. Serve immediately.
