A fresh and flavorful low-FODMAP pasta dish featuring garlic-infused oil and roasted cherry tomatoes, perfect for sensitive stomachs and springtime meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g (7 oz) gluten-free or regular pasta of choice (brown rice or corn-based recommended)
  • Salt, for pasta water
  • 300g (10 oz) cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for roasting tomatoes)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for garlic-infused oil)
  • 2 whole garlic cloves (unpeeled, to infuse oil)
  • Fresh basil leaves, torn (about a handful)
  • Grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese (optional)
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place halved cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle oregano or thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Roast tomatoes for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway, until softened and caramelized.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente (8-10 minutes). Reserve ½ cup (120 ml) pasta water and drain pasta.
  4. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm 4 tablespoons olive oil with unpeeled garlic cloves for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Avoid burning the garlic.
  5. Remove garlic cloves and discard. In a large bowl, combine drained pasta with garlic-infused oil and roasted tomatoes with their juices. Toss gently to coat.
  6. If pasta seems dry, add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add torn fresh basil leaves and optional red pepper flakes.
  8. Serve topped with grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese if desired.

Notes

Do not burn the garlic when infusing oil; keep heat low. Reserve pasta water to loosen sauce and add silkiness. Use ripe but firm tomatoes for best roasting results. For vegan version, skip cheese or use plant-based alternative. Nightshade-sensitive individuals can swap tomatoes for roasted carrots or zucchini.
