Today's dish is, in short, a simple and interesting alternative to the usual pasta with tomato sauce. You could also make it as part of a dinner party, on account of both its deliciousness and healthiness. A delicious pasta dish topped with loads of gratin-style tomatoes roasted in the oven.
Arrange the halved tomatoes in a baking dish. Prepare a mixture of breadcrumbs, the two cheeses, parsley and basil, capers and the pitted olives. Chop and mix them all together well with a little extra virgin olive oil. Cover the tomatoes with the gratin mix and roast in the oven for half an hour at 200°C. Cook the pasta. Toss the pasta with half the gratin tomatoes and use the other half to garnish the dish when you serve.
