Roasted Tomato and Sausage Pasta
with broccolini
Roasted tomatoes make a delicious rustic "sauce" for pasta. Even better if they cook at the same time and on the same pan as sausage and a vegetable side dish.
Smarts: A single sheet pan is all you need for 4 servings, but if you are making more than 4 servings you may need a second sheet pan so all of the ingredients have plenty of room.
