I always love a good meatless dish, but now that it is Lent, more and more people are looking for simple, vegetarian dishes to make under 30 minutes. Move over boring spaghetti sauce, this one is much healthier and so much more delicious. And for the carnivores out there, you can easily add some chicken or even shrimp to this.
I love the flavor of roasted tomatoes and garlic together. It's one of my favorites. And your house will smell AMAZING!

I topped my husband's pasta with a little feta cheese but I bet parmesan cheese would also be delicious on top of this. I hope you love this as much as I did!
