  • 6 pints ripe cherry tomatoes
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 4 sprigs  fresh thyme 
  • 1 dried whole arbol chili 
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 8-10 large fresh basil leaves torn
  • 1 box angel hair pasta

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).
  • Assemble the ingredients in an ovenproof baking dish.
  • Cover the bottom of the dish with cherry tomatoes.
  • Add whole garlic cloves, fresh thyme, bay leaf, and the dried arbol chili.
  • Generously drizzle with olive oil, ensuring the tomatoes are well coated.
  • Season with sea salt and pepper.
  • Roast in the oven for 20–30 minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to burst and release their juices.
