Preparation of Pasta with Butter and Cherry Tomatoes
To make pasta with butter and cherry tomatoes, choose either very sweet cherry tomatoes or datterini; the recipe is otherwise easy and is prepared while the pasta cooks.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes, cut them in half and place them in a small baking dish with a pinch of oregano, a pinch of garlic and salt to taste. Add half of the butter and cook in the air fryer at 392°F for 20 minutes (or in a convection oven using the same settings),
breaking them and stirring them from time to time. While the tomatoes cook, bring the water for the pasta to a boil.
Take the tomatoes and blend about two-thirds of them. Melt the reserved butter in a pan, add the pasta cooked until al dente and a little of the cooking water, along with the freshly prepared sauce.
Stir again and plate, garnishing with the remaining cherry tomatoes, basil and toasted stale bread crumbs, previously toasted in the air fryer or in a pan.
Serve immediately.
Storage notes and tips
Leftover pasta (although it’s better not to have leftovers) should be kept in the refrigerator and to reheat it just sauté it in a non-stick pan. The sauce can be stored in the fridge for two days, but it should be heated before use so that the butter melts again.
