I guess it has been tomato week here. Earlier this week I posted fresh salsa and how I grill tomatoes and today I have a grilled tomato pasta for you.
Summertime meals to me mean simple recipes, using fresh and in season ingredients. This recipe is just that. It is simple yet full of flavor.
Grilled Tomato and Pasta
- About 2 – 3 lbs of tomatoes
- 4-5 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- ½ teaspoon of dried basil (or use fresh if you have it)
- ½ teaspoon of dried oregano (or use fresh if you have it)
- 1 pound of pasta
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese (this is the real stuff, not the stuff in a can)
- ¼ cup of cream
Cook pasta according to directions. While the pasta is cooking, toss your tomatoes in the oil, salt, and pepper and grill them.
Combine cooked pasta, with remaining ingredients. Once it is mixed well, carefully stir in grilled tomatoes.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

MMMM! That really looks amazing. I made grilled tomato soup earlier this summer, and I love how the grilling gives a whole different taste to the tomato.
Vanderbilt Wife´s last blog ..Just in case you were wondering
@Vanderbilt Wife, I know isn’t it amazing how much flavor something simple like grilling can add to tomatoes.
OMG … that looks so good. I live in an apartment adn I cant have an outdoor grill. However I just bougth one off of QVC to use in my kitchen. I just hope that there is not much of a difference.
thanks for the great recipe.

I love, love, love grilled tomatoes and this pasta looks DELICIOUS!
YAY! Thank you so much for sharing!
Yum Lynn. Tried it today. It was a great lunch! I did grill the tomatoes in butter instead of olive oil though
how can this be done using the oven? do i shish-kabob it?
@shamael, This is how I do the tomatoes, but I think you could do something similar in the oven , they just might have a little different flavor. I also think you could use a grill pan to do the same basic thing. http://www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/2010/07/grilling-tomatoes.html
