Meatless Monday: Spaghetti with roasted heirloom tomatoes

December 3, 2012 by Stacey 6 Comments

 

roast-tomato-and-feta-spaghettiAs you know, VMHQ is pretty much overrun with babies. Ok, there’s two, but they’re little and one is still so little she likes to be held lots. Dinner time at headquarters can be interesting affairs – sometimes I’m organised as hell, sometimes we’re eating at 9pm after we’ve got the kiddies down, and sometimes it’s cereal. I might be at home all day every day, but that has no bearing on whether dinner is a success or not – some days are just better than others. And some dinners are just easier than others… like this one!

The key to this one is a good marinated feta, or if you don’t have that maybe regular feta and some flavoured oil. Failing that, olive oil and good fresh herbs? Failing that, dried herbs?

Failing that, takeaway?

You’re also wanting some good tomatoes with proper flavour, which should go without saying but I’m going to say it anyway. If you’ve grown your own, full credit to you sir/ma’am. Bake some bread to have with it.

By all means doctor this up with whatever you like. But if you’re short on time and long on pasta (groan), this is an excellent quick dish to get on the table before you all faint from hunger.

And as always I can’t wait to see your Meatless Monday links 🙂
