Ingredients
1 box Fiber Gourmet Light Spaghetti
2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes
1/2 shallot or red onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, peeled (optional)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1 sprig fresh thyme
Fresh basil leaves, for roasting and garnish
Kosher salt, to taste
Quick Tips
✓
Let the tomatoes blister: Bake until the tomatoes are fully bursting and wrinkly. This caramelizes their natural sugars, removing any raw acidity and creating a deeply sweet flavor profile.
✓
Adjust the heat: If you love a spicy kick, feel free to double up on the crushed red pepper flakes. If you are serving kids, you can easily leave them out entirely.
✓
Blend to your liking: You can blend the sauce until completely smooth and velvety, or leave a few burst tomatoes unblended for a chunkier, more rustic texture.
✓
Reserve starchy water: Before draining your pasta, save about a quarter cup of the water. If the sauce feels too thick after blending, a splash of this water will make it instantly silky.

How To Make Baked Tomato Pasta
1
Roast the Aromatics and Tomatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large baking dish, combine the cherry tomatoes, sliced shallot, whole garlic cloves, the sprig of thyme, a handful of fresh basil leaves, and the extra virgin olive oil. Season generously with kosher salt and toss everything together until beautifully coated. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the tomatoes are soft, bursting, and bubbling.
2
Cook the Pasta
While the tomatoes are finishing up in the oven, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the Fiber Gourmet Light Spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
3
Blend the Sauce
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and discard the thyme stem. Transfer the burst tomatoes, shallots, garlic, and all the rich olive oil juices into a blender or food processor. Add the honey, nutritional yeast, and crushed red pepper flakes. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
4
Toss and Garnish
Pour the warm, blended roasted tomato sauce over your cooked Fiber Gourmet Light Spaghetti. Toss the noodles gently until every strand is fully combined and coated in sauce. Garnish generously with fresh chopped basil leaves and serve immediately.
FAQs
What does the nutritional yeast do in this recipe?
Nutritional yeast is a plant-based ingredient that adds a wonderful, subtle cheesy and savory flavor (umami) without the need for actual dairy. It also helps emulsify the olive oil and tomato juices into a smooth sauce. If you don't have it, you can swap it for grated Parmesan cheese.
Can I use maple syrup instead of honey?
Yes! Maple syrup or a sugar-free liquid sweetener works as an excellent 1:1 substitute for honey. The touch of sweetness is just there to balance the natural acidity of the tomatoes.
Why is there so much olive oil in this recipe?
The 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil acts as the actual liquid base for your sauce. When roasted with the tomatoes and blended, it creates a rich, luxurious emulsion. For the best flavor, make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil!
A Better-For-You Twist
