Ingredients

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes (such as Sun Gold)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 14 ounces penne pasta
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps

  1. Combine cherry tomatoes, oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until garlic is just toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Pour chicken broth into tomato mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until tomatoes start to collapse and burst, about 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 to 11 minutes. Drain.
  4. Stir oregano and red pepper flakes into pasta sauce; puree with a stick blender until smooth.
  5. Add penne to tomato sauce; stir until pasta is well coated with sauce. Stir in cheese and season with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy!
